FortiGuard - Web Filter
FortiGuard Web Filtering is a managed web filtering solution provided by Fortinet.
FortiGuard Web Filtering sorts hundreds of millions of web pages into a wide range of
categories users can allow, block, or monitor. The FortiGate unit accesses the nearest
FortiGuard Web Filtering Service Point to determine the category of a requested web
page then follows the firewall policy configured for that user or interface.
FortiGuard Web Filtering includes over 60 million individual ratings of web sites applying
to hundreds of millions of pages. Pages are sorted and rated into 56 categories users can
allow, block, or monitor. Categories may be added to, or updated, as the Internet evolves.
To make configuration simpler, users can also choose to allow, block, or monitor entire
groups of categories. Blocked pages are replaced with a message indicating that the page
is not accessible according to the Internet usage policy.
Note:
URLs with an action set to exempt are not scanned for viruses. If users on
the network download files through the
FortiGate
unit from trusted website, add the
URL of this website to the URL filter list with an action set to exempt so the
FortiGate
unit does not virus scan files downloaded from this URL.
Note:
Enable
Web Filtering > Web URL Filter > HTTP
or
HTTPS
in a firewall Protection
Profile to activate the web URL filter settings for HTTP and/or HTTPS traffic.
