Web Filtering HTTPS Facebook in Fortigate 110c: Best Practices and Tips

>>After reading the discussion I am not sure if I understood the solution correctly. The issue is that during certificate inspection (SNI and CN) some website access breaks - right? Typically the issue occures on those sites where there are some embedded links which are beeing loaded after the first URL request. The issue only occures if some of those emmeded links are categorized by the webfilter to be blocked (e.g. advertising). When the webfilter blocks access to those https sites the fortigate will send the https-replacemsg to the client with the own fortigate certificate. Typically this is untrusted and the client will get the unknown certificate issuer error. This can be solved for managed clients with certificate rollout. But for BYOD devices thats not possible.


If https-replacemsg is enabled, you may see a slowdown if a content on a page is blocked because the Fortigate does not send a RST packet right away. The browser will wait until the timeout value is reached.
