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.
FortiGuard Web Filtering ratings are performed by a combination of proprietary
methods including text analysis, exploitation of the Web structure, and human
raters. Users can notify the FortiGuard Web Filtering Service Points if they feel a
web page is not categorized correctly, and new sites are quickly rated as required.
Use the procedure “FortiGuard Web Filtering options” on page 334 to configure
FortiGuard category blocking in a protection profile. To configure the
FortiGuard Web service, see “Configuring the FortiGate unit for FDN and
FortiGuard services” on page 188.
