Hello Tutek,

Also here you can find Troubleshooting for DNS filter:

Guess is a matter of licensing, you are expired, remember this product is subscription based. Fortinet wants to bill you by every single option, soon they'll even bill you the DHCP option, so that's why it's failing to you.

Hi,

 

You would need to have a Web-Filtering license for this. If you already have a web-Filter license, please try these commands if you have not tried and see if it works:

config system fortiguard
set fortiguard-anycast disable
set protocol udp
set port 53
end

 

Regards,

Manosh

Hi Tutek,

 

Could you try the below commands:

 config system fortiguard
set sdns-server-ip "208.91.112.220"

end

Let us know if the above works.
