SSL-VPN triggering a IPS upd_flood (i think)

[reneaksess]

Hi y'll

I've got this challenge with a lot of alert emails from my fortigate. It looks like it's triggered trough the DoS IpV4 policy on WAN1. If I read and analize the message i see it's from a customer that uses SSL-VPN connection to our center. It's not just one customer but several that can trigger. I raised the treshold for this DoS IpV4 from 2000 to 3500 and it reduced the amount of mails :) . I can of course raise it even higher or just turn it off but that's not a good solution because I want to understand what happens. I see that it seems to be in connection with the logon (but not 100% sure).

i post the Alert and hope somebody can give me a hint or a solution

Message meets Alert condition

The following intrusion was observed: "udp_flood".

Same behavior on our system.

I am having the same problem

I had to turn it off for the UDP-Flood cause it was causing a problem for SSL-VPN users

but then we had a a real udp attack which affected the CPU for several hours, I now need to explain this to the client

I'm experiencing the same thing.  Have you found a solution to this?  Out of curiosity do you have DTLS enabled in the forticlient?
