FortiGateVM x WindowsVM issue.

[bhireg0]

I have a fortiGate VM & Windows VM on VMware workstation. Fortigate isp port is in NAT lan port is in host only custom network. After configuration, I am able to access the ISP port of FortiGate from the Windows LAN machine but not being able to get to the internet. Policies checked. Made a same config lab on Eveng. Works fine.

Can A host network reach NAT/Bridge network through routing in FW?

P.S. I have tried LAN segments for LAN network & Bridging mode for WAN too. No luck.

+If I get GCP would I be able to host VMs and create network topology?

Hello,

Can you please elaborate whether you cannot access Internet from Windows VM or FortiGate VM?

You may consider to sniff traffic and collect debug flow traces in order to check traffic flow:
