Why does this keep happening?  Fortinet makes such great hardware, but they have seriously burned some of us with bad firmware releases.  I'm a constant Fortinet advocate, but this kind of crap demonstrates a lack of QC and concern for the customer environment.  These type of issues should definitely be exposed by a good QC system and if the firmware has the potential to wipe a config, for godness sakes it should not be released.  Those of us who are long time Fortinet customers have learned to be wary of new releases and to always reboot the appliance, take a back up, and wait for others to expose the bugs, but it doesn't need to be that way with the right internal controls at Fortinet.  Pick up the slack guys.  You make a great product but you are tripping over your own feet when you release builds like this.

I have the same issue using three WAN internet connections, I'm waiting for a new firmware to solve all these problems.

If I increase the priority of one of those Interfaces,  I can connect to SSL VPN or access the GUI.

When I change static routes, I start having problems with my other policy routes...so, I hope the new firmware will solve this.
