Enabling/disabling application blocking

Enabling/disabling application blocking

If you wish to disable the blocking of all the applications that are under a specific policy, we recommend simply disabling the blocklist rule of that policy. Alternatively, in order to temporarily block only specific applications, then we recommend enabling/disabling each application separately. If an application no longer needs to be on the blocklist, then we recommend deleting it using the Delete button in the right-most column or in the toolbar.

Note

For predefined application groups (indicated by the Fortinet log by the group name), You cannot disable the default policy Application Control.
To enable/disable the blocking of specific applications:
  1. Select SECURITY SETTINGS > Application Control to display the Application Control Manager. Each row represents an application to be blocked.
  2. In the STATUS column on the right, toggle the value between Enabled and Disabled. Alternatively, you can check the checkboxes of the desired application rows, and then select the Enabled or the Disabled option from the Set State dropdown.
