Configuring web filter profiles
FortiIsolator supports web filtering, which allows you to control the webpages that users can view. You can block specific URLs or websites, which then prevents a user's browser from loading webpages from these websites.
Use this procedure to configure web filter profiles on FortiIsolator.
Prerequisites
- Ensure that FortiIsolator has a valid license installed.
- Register the device to a production server: https://support.fortinet.com/product/RegistrationEntry.aspx.
- Ensure that the IP address in the FortiIsolator license is the same as the FortiIsolator management IP address.
Steps
- Go to Security Profiles > Web Filter.
- Enable Web Filter.
- To set web filters for categories, in the web filter list, expand a category, and then a subcategory.
- Click Monitor, Block, Allow, or Exempt.
The symbols beside the subcategories show the web filter action that you configured.
- To set web filters for specific websites, in the White List or Black List sections, click Create New.
- Type the URL, click a filter type, and click OK.
The URL and Type that you configured is displayed in the White List or Black List tables.
- Click Submit.
- To verify that the web filter that you configured is working, try to browse to one of the webpages that you blocked.
