Allow https access only to approved websites?

[generaltab]

Greetings. What's the recommended configuration for blocking access to all websites except for those explicitly allowed under v7.0.14? Would the recommendation be the same for v7.4.7? Thank you -Steve

Hello Steve,

To block access to all websites except those explicitly allowed, you can use a web filter profile.

FortiGuard Web Filter categories are used to classify and manage web content access.

By default, some categories are blocked, and others are allowed. This is the default configuration on FortiGate. You can later modify this based on your requirements using the following community articles:
