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. You need to have a FortiGuard subscription to take advantage of FortiGuard web filtering.

The FortiGate unit also enables you to override the FortiGuard filtering designation, and you can add your own. To customize your FortiGuard web filtering, go to Web Filter > FortiGuard - Web Filter.

Logging is an indirect method of protecting your network. The FortiGate unit’s robust logging features enable you to see the attacks, spam and virus activity is occurring on your network. Using this information, you can then take the corrective action necessary to resolve any problems before they become major problems.

With alert email, you can configure the FortiGate unit to send alert messages, when specific events occur with specific frequency. By logging to a FortiAnalyzer unit, you can run over 300 reports on various network traffic.

To configure logging, go to Log&Report > Log Setting.

For details and configuration options for the logging features and settings, see the FortiGate Administration Guide or the FortiGate Online Help.
