Chapter 4: Server Load Balancing > Creating a Web Filter Profile configuration

Creating a Web Filter Profile configuration

You use the web filter profile configuration to create groups of FortiGuard categories that you want to include in the SSL forward proxy "L2 Exception List" configuration. The web filter profile should include categories that should not be processed by the outbound L2 SSL forward proxy feature. To address privacy concerns, you can include categories such as "Personal Privacy", "Finance and Banking", "Health and Wellness", and Medicine.

Before you begin:
