Unreachable dns servers

Hi

 

I encountered a wired situation. When I enable web filter and dns filter in a policy, the dns servers on fortigate become unreachable or with high ping times and fortigate won't update at specified time. when i disable those security profiles the dns will have normal ping time. How can i solve this issue? I have tested with so many dns servers.

Hi rezafathi

 

A possible issue could be of large payload used. Please find the attached article.

You may configure the appropriate setting considering the environment you have set.

 

Hope that helps,
