Enable SIMNET

On FortiSandbox, ensure that SIMNET is enabled to prevent FortiSandbox from sending requests through port3 (optimization).

To enable SIMNET:

1. Log in to FortiSandbox.
2. Go to Scan Policy and Object > General Settings.
3. Deselect ‘Allow Virtual Machines to access external network through outgoing port3’.
4. Go to Dashboard > Status. In the System Information widget, verify the status of SIMNET is ON.
