got your thought buddy.

1st thing remove any security profiles in your outbound policy and try to access those websites. if you can accessed those websites withount any issues then something might hitting your profiles.

2nd, if using url filter i always used the Exemot action than Allow. pls see below how to work with url filter

Clear your browser's cache or try accessing the site in incognito mode. Sometimes, old cache data can cause loading issues.

Hi!

It sounds like SSL inspection or filtering might be blocking the payment gateway.

Possible causes:
SSL Inspection: Disable it or create an exception for the site.
DNS Settings: Check your DNS configuration.
Web Filtering: Make sure the site isn't blocked.
Steps to troubleshoot:
Check logs for blocked traffic.
Create a bypass rule for the site.
Ensure your firmware is up-to-date.

Hi,

It sounds like the issue could be related to the Fortigate firewall blocking some of the scripts or content from your custom payment gateway (xyz.com). This is a common scenario, especially if the firewall's web filter or deep inspection settings are enabled.

Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:

  1. Check the Web Filter Logs:
    Go to the Fortigate dashboard, review the web filter logs, and see if any elements of the payment gateway are being blocked. If you find blocked items, you may need to whitelist the domain xyz.com.

  2. Disable SSL Deep Inspection Temporarily:
    If SSL inspection is enabled, it might be interfering with the website’s SSL/TLS handshake. You can test this by disabling SSL deep inspection temporarily and checking if the issue resolves.

  3. Adjust Firewall Policies:
    Ensure that the policy allowing access to xyz.com is set correctly and doesn’t have overly restrictive settings for web content or application control.

  4. Test on a Different Browser or Device:
    Sometimes, browser settings or cached data can cause display issues. Clear your cache, try incognito mode, or use a different browser/device to confirm if the problem persists.

If you're looking for alternative solutions for managing payments efficiently, you might want to consider platforms like https://paykassma.com/. They offer reliable integrations that are often more compatible with different network setups.

Let me know if you need more guidance on adjusting your Fortigate settings!

It looks like your Fortigate firewall might be interfering with your payment gateway's functionality. Here are a few things you can check to resolve the issue:

  1. Web Filtering & Application Control – Fortigate might be blocking certain scripts or resources needed for the site. Try whitelisting your payment gateway domain.
  2. SSL Inspection Settings – If deep SSL inspection is enabled, it may cause loading issues. Try disabling it for your payment site.
  3. Firewall & NAT Rules – Ensure your firewall isn't blocking critical ports used by your payment gateway.
  4. DNS Issues – Check if the DNS settings on your Fortigate device are resolving the payment gateway correctly.
  5. Browser & Network Testing – Try accessing the site on a different device or network to confirm if the firewall is the issue.

If none of these work, reviewing the logs in Fortigate's GUI might give you more details on what's being blocked. Let me know if you need more help.
If you're looking for a reliable and seamless payment gateway, platforms like linkpay.io provide smooth transactions without unnecessary technical headaches. Let us know if you manage to resolve the issue!
