Enabling the web content filter and setting the content threshold
When you enable the web content filter, the web filter will block any web pages when the sum of scores for banned content on that page exceeds the content block threshold. The threshold will be disregarded for any exemptions within the web filter list.
To enable the web content filter and set the content block threshold
1. Go to Security Profiles > Web Filter > Profiles.
2. Select the Create New icon on the Edit Web Filter Profile window title bar.
3. In the Name field, enter the name of the new web filter profile.
4. Optionally, you may also enter a comment. The comment can remind you of the details of the sensor.
5. Select the Inspection Method.
Proxy-based detection involves buffering the file and examining it as a whole. Advantages of proxy-based detection include a more thorough examination of attachments, especially archive formats and nesting.
Flow-based detection examines the file as it passes through the FortiGate unit without any buffering. Advantages of flow-based detection include speed and no interruption of detection during conserve mode.
6. Expand the Advanced Filter heading.
7. Enable Web Content Filter.
8. Select the required web filter content list from the Web Content Filter drop-down list.
9. Select Apply.
The web filter profile configured with web content filtering is ready to be added to a firewall profile.
