 Hi @jdlanuza, 

 

You can block that IP address by configuring local-in-policy. Please refer to https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.4.1/administration-guide/363127/local-in-policy

 

As per the best practices, you shouldn't have HTTP/HTTPS access enabled on the public facing interfaces. You can also configure trusted hosts. Please refer to https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-System-administrator-best-practices/ta-p/1... 

 

Regards,
