Hello yomaldyw,
The image you are using is FFW_VM64_xx license file. This is for FortiFirewall, FortiFirewall prioritizes throughput and these units do not have any UTM features. It is mostly used by ISPs or Telecommunications customers to utilize the most bandwidth for the Internet traffic for consumers.
FGT_VM64_xx is for FortiGate, FortiGate prioritizes network security. It is popular with businesses to prevent any unauthorized access to internal resources.
Please use FGT_VM64_xx image and test.
