Hello all
I'm a new fortigate user and have a Fortigate 40F at home.
How is it possible to create a Fortigate firewall policy that expires after a certain period of time?
I don't mean a policy with "Policy expiration - Expiration date"!
I mean a policy where I can set that it can only be active for 1 hour during 24 hours and then resets itself the next day and again for 1 hour may be active.
Reason of the question:
I'm looking for a way to limit internet access for my teenagers to a certain time per day, so that they only have internet access for a total of, for example, 1 hour each day. (not always same time every day - so a timer)
If I could then activate this policy rule with an admin account, that would be great.
Thank you for your help.
Greeting
Benjamin

Hello @swiss_daddy
You can try Usage Quota in web filter:
https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.4.2/administration-guide/801136/usage-quota
If you want to specify access for certain exact time in the day then schedule would be a good option:

Hello everyone
Unfortunately I just found the following information...
https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.4.4/administration-guide/519079?preview_token=6ac61bf...
It could be that I can't turn on the proxy-based mode (Security Feature Explicit and transparent proxies) because I have a Fortigate 40F with less than 2GB RAM and have already switched to
Fortigate OS 7.6.1!
Such a shame - I could have really used it.

Benjamin
Hello all
Well I have done a downgrad to 7.4.3 and with this I'm able to use Webfilter Quotas.
This exactly what I need.
Thank you all for your support!
