Fortigate 60D and Webfiltering

Hello,

 

New to Fortigate.  I have a customer that is having issues with their webfiltering.  They have had the product for some time, but have not gotten the webfiltering to work.  I can see that the webfiltering is on and licensed.  However, it is not blocking sites that are identified.  Does each machine have to have the FortiClient installed in order for the webfiltering to take place?

Does the policy that the traffic passes through have Web Filter turned ON?

That is a very interesting comment.  And you were exactly on spot.  No, the policy was not activated for the connection.  Once I did that, it worked.  Thank you very much.

Good hint, it's almost the nearest things that get forgotten
