Hi @adymohd,

 

You can create a firewall policy to allow the traffic. Please refer to https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.4.1/administration-guide/656084/firewall-policy

 

Why would you allow traffic from https://*.newbe.com to 10.100.20.20 on port 22?

Hi @adymohd ,

 

To configure a firewall policy on FortiGate you can follow the steps similar to this Fortinet video (then choosing the source, destination and destination service/port that you want/need):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36wU22YqrGw

For example to configure traffic both ways between 10.100.20.1 and 72.16.251.62:
Firewall policy 1:

-source IP: 10.100.20.1
-destination  IP: 172.16.251.62
-destination port: 22 (SSH)

Firewall policy 2:

-source IP: 172.16.251.62 
-destination  IP: 10.100.20.1
-destination port: 22 (SSH)

You can find more details here as well:
