Hello everyone,
hoping all is well with you , I am using FortiWeb to protect about 10 web servers on my network , I am using subdomain from my domain from Godaddy like ( abc.xyz.com ) and assign NATed real IP to the subdomain so users can use this subdomain to access the web applications that protected by FortiWeb, but if a user use the real IP the web application works fine but I need to prevent using Real IP I need block this , I need users to use only my subdomains , because there are many Bot scanners try to attack my web applications and using Real IP at the column ( HTTP Host )

hi,
Could you mention the mode of deployment? Is it not reverse proxy?
Best regards,

Reverse Proxy Mode
So by default, traffic cannot go through directly to a real server via FortiWeb but through a VIP. Did you change any other settings?
best regards,
Jin
Or are you trying to prevent access by users using the vip/virtual server IP address? But instead access should only occur by means of a FQDN/hostname?
Best regards,
Jin
exactly access should only occur by means of a FQDN/hostname
Ok, this can be easily setup using protected hostname definitions where only FQDNs are to be defined, please see https://help.fortinet.com/fweb/571/Content/FortiWeb/fortiweb-admin/define_protected_host.htm
Best regards,
Jin
Unfortunatly this is not working
It means configuration for protected hostnames is not blocking the access with IP address as hostname. Hope fqdn hostnames were added with action allow. I guess we should also define the hostname IP address and add it to the list but with action deny. Afterwards apply the same through server policy.
best regards,
Jin
