Question 250
At Dunwell University, the FortiGate 7.6 security administration team encounters the following authorized operational case: remote workers bypass headquarters web filtering when they browse from home Wi-Fi. They need a defensible FortiOS configuration, diagnosis, validation or prevention decision. What root condition most directly explains the described FortiGate symptom?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Local firewall inspection does not automatically apply to users who route directly to the internet outside the office. The mechanism is relevant because the stated secure web gateway for roaming users incident concerns the actual selected path, policy, identity or inspection state. The appropriate response is to onboard supported roaming clients to FortiSASE secure web gateway inspection and policy enforcement; verify it through this observed condition: a test remote web request receives the same required category decision and logging.
Incorrect Answers
A customized administrative service port does not continue listening on the former default port explains a different situation, management https port validation, where an administrator changes the HTTPS management port but monitoring still probes the original port and reports the firewall down. It does not account for the specific observed secure web gateway for roaming users condition at Dunwell University. The decisive mechanism here is: Local firewall inspection does not automatically apply to users who route directly to the internet outside the office.
An unregistered logging device can fail acceptance even when the collector is reachable explains a different situation, fortianalyzer device authorization, where a newly added FortiGate sends connection attempts to FortiAnalyzer but is absent from the authorized device list. It does not account for the specific observed secure web gateway for roaming users condition at Dunwell University. The decisive mechanism here is: Local firewall inspection does not automatically apply to users who route directly to the internet outside the office.
Configuration synchronization alone does not guarantee all active session state survives member failover explains a different situation, fgcp session pickup, where stateful sessions restart after an HA failover even though both devices share firewall policies. It does not account for the specific observed secure web gateway for roaming users condition at Dunwell University. The decisive mechanism here is: Local firewall inspection does not automatically apply to users who route directly to the internet outside the office.
