Enabling updates through a web proxy
If the Micro-FortiGuard Server for FortiClient system’s built-in FDS must connect to the FDN through a web (HTTP or HTTPS) proxy, you can specify the IP address and port of the proxy server.
If the proxy requires authentication, you can also specify a user name and password.
To enable updates to the Micro-FortiGuard Server for FortiClient system through a proxy:
- Go to FortiGuard
Server > Settings. - Expand FortiGuard Web Filter Settings.
- Toggle ON beside Use Web Proxy and enter the IP address and port number of the proxy.
- If the proxy requires authentication, enter the user name and password.
- Click Apply.
If the FDN connection status is Disconnected, the Micro-FortiGuard Server for FortiClient system is unable to connect through the web proxy.
