Hi guys, I'm testing FortiOS 5.4.1, great OS and as expected, buggy.
When I open google.com website, web filter is blocking with Proxy Avoidance category:
Category 59
Category Description Proxy Avoidance
Threat Level high
Direction outgoing
Event Type ftgd_blk
Hostname google.com
Metho dip
Message URL belongs to a denied category in policy
Profile Name WF
Request Type direct
URL google.com/
On same Fortigate I did try to make a Web Rating Override to "correct" this, but rating to google.com is:
Category: General Interest - Business Sub-Category: Search Engines and Portals How to correct this mess??? Thank you and sorry any language mistake.
Hi Carlos,
That sounds more like their URL category is wrong, which is (I think) just an incorrect entry in their database.
You can report the category as incorrect from FortiGate's WEb GUI:
System > FortiGuard
> "Filtering Services Availability" section
> "Request re-evaluation of a URL's category"
Haven't tried reporting any off category myself, so would be interested to hear if that works for you, and how quick the response is.
Thank you tanr, but google.com category is correct, the incorrect issue was at web filter security profile.
But, miraculously, all things get in shape now. I did an "unselect and select" web filter profile on policy and did resolve the problem. It's a bug, I guess.
