Configuring FortiGate Web pattern blocking

You can configure FortiGate web pattern blocking to block web pages that match a URL pattern. Create URL patterns using regular expressions (for example, badsite.* matches badsite.com, badsite.org, badsite.net and so on).

FortiGate web pattern blocking supports standard regular expressions. You can add up to 20 patterns to the web pattern block list.

To add patterns to the Web pattern block list

1Go to Web Filter > URL Block > Web Pattern Block.

2Select New to add an item to the Web pattern block list.

3Type the web pattern that you want to block.

You can use standard regular expressions for web patterns.

Note: URL blocking does not block access to other services that users can access with a web browser. For example, URL blocking does not block access to ftp://ftp.badsite.com. Instead, you can use firewall policies to deny FTP connections.

4Select Enable to block the pattern.

5Select OK to add the pattern to the Web pattern block list.

Note: You must select the Web URL Block option in the content profile to enable the URL blocking.
