How to fix Fortinet FGT Anycast not working
Fortinet FortiGuard provides security services that run on Fortinet firewalls and devices. These include web filtering, updates, licence checks and DNS filtering. Find your symptom below. Most problems come from a device's licence or update setting, a connection from the device to the service, a sign-in to the portal, or the service itself. Check the device's licence and date and time before you change any security setting.
Jump to what you are seeing
- Connection Failed
- Web Filtering Down
- Updates Failing
- License Validation Error
- DNS Resolution Error
- Portal Login Failed
Connection Failed
The device cannot reach the FortiGuard service.
- Check the device has internet access, and that the outbound ports the service uses are open.
- Check the device's date and time are correct.
- Check status.query.fortiguard.net, and report the device model and the time to your network administrator.
Web Filtering Down
Web filtering is not working, or it blocks sites it should not.
- Check the filter is turned on for the right policy.
- Check whether the blocked site is in a category you have chosen to block.
- Check status.query.fortiguard.net, and let your network administrator review the rule. Do not turn off filtering to fix one site.
Updates Failing
The device's security updates do not download or install.
- Check the device has a working internet connection and enough free storage.
- Check the device's licence is current, since updates depend on it.
- Check status.query.fortiguard.net, and try the update again later.
License Validation Error
The device reports that its licence is not valid.
- Check the licence has not expired, and is registered to that device.
- Check the device's date and time are correct, since a wrong clock can fail validation.
- Check status.query.fortiguard.net, and contact your reseller with the device serial number and the time.
DNS Resolution Error
Names do not resolve through the DNS filtering service.
- Try a website by its address, to see whether the problem is only with names.
- Check the device's DNS settings match the ones in your network guidance.
- Check status.query.fortiguard.net, and report the time to your network administrator.
Portal Login Failed
Sign-in to the FortiGuard portal is refused.
- If the password is refused, reset it through the official route and check spam.
- Check you are using the account that owns the licence.
- Try a private window to rule out an old session.
Still not working?
Contact your organisation's network administrator or your Fortinet reseller first, since they manage devices, licences and policies. For a service-wide problem, contact Fortinet support through the help option on its website. Have your organisation name, the device model and serial number, the exact error text, and the time with your time zone. Never send passwords, licence keys or device configuration files in a support message. Live incident updates are on status.query.fortiguard.net.
Most device-security service problems come from a licence date, a clock setting or a connection, and they usually clear once that is checked. The status page shows live incidents, so you can see whether the problem is on Fortinet's side.
