Redirect to WAD after handshake completion

Redirect to WAD after handshake completion

In a proxy-based policy, the TCP connection is proxied by the FortiGate. A TCP 3-way handshake can be established with the client even though the server did not complete the handshake.

This option uses IPS to handle the initial TCP 3-way handshake. It rebuilds the sockets and redirects the session back to proxy only when the handshake with the server is established.

To enable proxy after a TCP handshake in an SSL/SSH profile:
config firewall ssl-ssh-profile
    edit "test"
        config https
            set ports 443
            set status certificate-inspection
            set proxy-after-tcp-handshake enable
        end
        .....
   next
end
To enable proxy after a TCP handshake in protocol options:
config firewall profile-protocol-options
    edit "test"
        config http
            set ports 80
            set proxy-after-tcp-handshake enable
            unset options
            unset post-lang
        end
        ....
   next
end
