NO Web Browser Acces if FortiGuard Expires

Hello, we have a Fortigate100D (NFR) for testing reasons in our Company Lab installed and our FortiGuard License has expired in August. I figured out, that now it is not possible to browse any website except of www.google.com with all kind of Browsers (Explorer,Opera,Mozilla,Chrome) if you have 1 or more UTM Features enabled in your Firewall Policy. So for example if i disable all the UTM Features on the Police Internal > Wan i can open any websites with my browser. But if i apply 1 or more UTM Features to that Policy (no mater what, IPS, AV , WEB Filter ans so on.) i cant do it anymore. Anyway i still can Ping those website sucsessfully ... i´ve tried it out from internal LAN and from SSL-VPN Tunnel. it´s the same. if split tunneling is disabled you cant open a webpage if any UTM is on. Is this a security Feature of Fortigate to block WEB Access if you License has expired or is it a bug? anyone has the same problem? thank you in advance.

One thing to note about NFR - when you go to renew the License, you do not get NFR Pricing.

I've personally never seen an out-of-date unit exhibit this ( stoppage ) execept for when the Webfilter is enabled,   BUT almost all other UTM features should allow the unit to operate to include IPS. Just don't expect any auto-update ( AS/AV/etc....)

 

About NFR pricing, there's no SKU for any fortiguard  services from what I've recall, but you can check with your regional FTNT channel-partner manager for any special pricing but they might not be happy with that and the NFR process is really designed around a partner and demo/training.
