After years of working with Dell and Cisco, I just had my first exposure to Fortinet after replacing someone and this gives me a higher level of comfort than I had yesterday.

[@rodneywilliams5283]

Great content! He did not only go into the basics of the configurations but took time to comment on best security practices.

[@netconfig999]

thanks you for this nice VDO

[@StasFainberg]

🚩🚩 from hardening perspective and Cyber Security perspective the first rule on a Firewall should be DENY ALL !!!!!!! 🚫🚫 and not allow all. But It's a nice video, no doubt 💪

[@jkhaksaar]

Can i install fortigate firewall like sophos on my intel hardware at my home lab?

[@attilavidacs24]

I'm trying to evaluation license and neither my implicit deny or other policies work. They just flash red when I create one, what am I doing wrong?

[@AlucardRacing]

will a fortinet 1000c block dos/ddos attacks without a license key for the IPS

[@DamienThorn5175]

[@ds.informatique]

Thank you it's helpfull

[@siavashsabouritabatabaei6526]

perfect

[@cybersechs1368]

Came here cos my 100E 'myseriously' lost connectivity to a fibre optic connection. I'm thinking its one of the disgruntled staff/company that tried to access into my 100E. I saw an attempted but failed unauthorised login 2 months ago. The last time I contacted the company was in June and did not require them to log in. Very suspicious. The login even showed the sys engineers email address. Hopefully its an ISP related issue and NOT because of that, it very very fishy

Bonjour, comment autoriser qu'un site web dans le filtre web sachant que la catégorie principale est bloqué merci

[@testingonly5364]

hi can u help me setting for vpn client

[@waelrahhal5660]

Hello, Thanks for your videos I want to know if this setup will work if my VPN Firewall/Router WAN connection is using 4G (SIM Card) keeping in mind that ISP provides only privet addresses (no real IP address) for devices connecting over 4G

[@Renggogoo]

when I connect the cable from my laptop to port 1 Fortigate I don't get the IP. so I can't enter the 192.168.1.99 browser. is there any solution?

[@industriesimaging8328]

you have to change quad 4 to 98-- 97.... anything by 99. Its in the internet options

[@industriesimaging8328]

Mac is a PITA

[@bummer1204]

Set a static IP address on your laptops Ethernet interface as 192.168.1.2 (or something other than 192.168.1.99), and set your subnet mask as 255.255.255.0. Also, when typing in your ip address in to your browser, be sure to type "" (i.e. 192.168.1.99). On my macbook, I also had to change my DNS to 192.168.1.99, but had no such trouble on a windows laptop.

[@yourquery]

Set your laptop ip address in same network

[@SmartCertificate]
