Fortigate Denied by forward policy check (policy 0) problem

I did set my service to ALL in firewall policy, but why still show problem "Denied by forward policy check (policy 0)" ? It show DNS resolved fail when I try to access to local system using SSL VPN.

Hi, 

 

From the debug it looks like the DNS communication is to 8.8.4.4 IP address and incoming interface is SSL VPN interface. From the 2 rules which is shared does not look like it matches both of them. Is there any rule which allows the communication from SSL VPN interface to ppp2 interface as per the debug?

Shiva

Hi, 

 

1. Please check what IP the DNS is resolving the FQDN to. Make sure the IP it resolve is the correct one.

2. Check if you have correct route in the firewall for the destination IP or the server IP address. 

3. Check if you have the correct Security Policy to allow the communication from correct incoming interface to outgoing interface. 

4. You can check the traffic log and see if traffic is going correctly or not. Make sure the logging is enabled in the policy for this. Do check the send bytes and received bytes value.

 

Regards,

Shiva
