Cannot bypass Web Filtering Fortinet 111C

 

My support has expired and I want turn off the filtering for the internet to work.

I have turned off the web Filter setting and the traffic is still being blocked.

We are using v5.0,build0318 (GA Patch 12)

I do not have other options to turn the web filtering off.

 

Is there a way to do this through command line?

hi,

I cannot 100% guess where in the menu the screenshot is from but I think this is not the place to switch WF off.

If you don't use a WF profile in a policy traffic through that policy will not be blocked. A profile is just a collection of settings and not 'active' per se. Without usage in a policy it's not effective.

It turns out that the HTTP traffic that is passing through the VPN tunnel is being blocked by the web filter. I can ping the sites but if I try to go to them with HTTP it fails. HTTPS is ok.
