Hi,
I would like to know how to block the VPN softwares on mobile device in Fortigate firewall.
Users are connecting to facebook,youtube eventhough blocked.
Hello,
Greetings!
To block VPN applications, you can use Web Filter and Application Security Profiles.
"Proxy Avoidance" category in Web Filter and "Proxy" category in Application Control.
Some applications may require Deep Inspection Certificate to be used in Firewall Policy as SSL Inspection. For such cases, that Deep Inspection Certificate should be downloaded and installed on users' devices.
