Virtual Webserver in ESXI over the Internet

Hi everyone,

 

I have a Linux virtual webserver in ESXI that I would like to be accessible over the internet. Currently it's accessible locally but I have tried all the settings on Fortigate to make it accessible over the internet to no avail.

 

I am plugging the 2nd Physical NIC directly to either internal 4 port and bridging the virtual webserver connection in ESXI to that 2nd NIC but not getting any good luck.

 

I also did create VIPs in Fortinet to the Internal 4.

 

I would really appreciate any help I could get.
