Firewall just WON'T LET THIS TRAFFIC OUT!

Hello ya'lll.

I'm having an issue, and I have no doubt I'm missing something simple, but try as I might I can't figure it out.

 

I'm setting up some Policies for "bypass" to allow servers to get out to the Internet for updates for certain products, and for our RMM tool.

 

Thing is, I've added bypasses for HTTP (80) and HTTPS (443) for several domains (*.packages.chocolatey.org and *.activeupdate.trendmicro.com) and they STILL show up in the "DENY" log. I can't figure out why it keeps getting "blocked".

 

I'm sure I'm missing something simple. Any guidance it massively appreciated.

Run a debug flow and see what it says. https://docs.fortinet.com...ugging-the-packet-flow

Thanks for the reply.

I followed the instructions, using the IP of the site that the Fortinet Logs are showing hitting the "deny" policy, and the debug screen shows...nothing.

Undoubtedly I'm doing something wrong, because the FW is showing the traffic as being dropped in the Logs, but the debug screen shows Jack and Shiza....

Thanks again for the help. This profiel is multi-vdom and is Profile Mode, if that makes a dfference.

I'd start by looking attentively at the drop log - it says the reason for a drop, what is it?

nothing helpful. "Policy violation"

Again, the frustrating thing is that both the SRC and DST ips/FQND's have a policy to ALLOW the very traffic that's being blocked

. I don't understand how they're slipping through the respective "allow" policies.

Is your firewall in  NGFW Mode with Central NAT?

No to Central SNAT. It is Multi-VDOM Profile Based (not policy based).

Quick question.

How are you matching a site such as *.packages.chocolatey.org ?

Thanks for the reply! I'm using FQDN and wildcard specification for this.

Specific to "chocolately.org", the FG is saying "unresolved FQDN". However, we have this same problem on many, many other domains, that do resolve the wildcard addresses.

Example attached:
