Hello Mayur,

Can you check below setting for your query 

1. Check in web filter profile  that you blocked Security Risk, Potential liable categorys.

2. In Application Control you can surf for signature Monero Cryptocurrency - block the signature(Set Action as block & apply)

3. If you using 5.6 OS version Botnet will control by fortiguard . 

    If you using below OS you need to block  botnet category in Application Control . 

4. Enable Antivirus 

They are all comes under botnet family .

Thanks! Mr. Babu

I already enabled Antivirus, already block Botnet category and now as advised by you blocked signature of Monero cryptourrency signature. It was very helpful. Hope, my network won't allow this.

One more thing, what to do in order to block all cryptocurrency related website.? I blocked Botnet already. Any thoughts?

Regards,

Mayur
