Description | This article describes FortiProxy policy matching behavior with the pass-through option enabled. |
Scope | FortiProxy. |
Solution |
By default, FortiProxy evaluates traffic using the first-matching technique from top to bottom to select a matching policy for particular traffic; the subsequent policies would be disregarded once the first policy matching applies.
From v7.0.1 onwards, FortiProxy allows continuing to match all policies by enabling pass-through options under policy configuration, and once all of the policies have been matched, the last matched policy will be used as the matching policy.
Below is an example of a policy pass-through-enabled policy setup.
GUI:
CLI:
config firewall policy
set pass-through disable
In this scenario, the Facebook access traffic would match the bottom policy because the first policy has a pass-through option enabled.
WAD debug:
CONNECT static.xx.fbcdn.net:443 HTTP/1.1 [I]wad_http_str_canonicalize :2200 enc=0 path=/ len=1 changes=0
WAD session list:
Session: explicit proxy 10.169.2.76:62811(10.47.18.157:35246)->163.70.132.23:443 |
