When accessing the website (doh.dns.apple.com), the FortiGuard Block Page is encountered. The website category should be 'Allowed_Custom'.

Workaround:

Configure a dummy Custom Category and Web Rating Override/Local Rating. Copy and paste the command below on the CLI.

It will still work after it is deleted. If the FortiGate was rebooted, apply the workaround again.

 

config webfilter ftgd-local-cat
    edit "dummy-cat"
        set id 190
    next
end


config webfilter ftgd-local-rating
    edit "dummy.local"
        set rating 190
    next
end

 

config webfilter ftgd-local-rating
delete "dummy.local"
end

 

config webfilter ftgd-local-cat
delete "dummy-cat"
end

 

 

The website is accessible:
