Use only EU servers for FortiGuard updates 7.0.2
FortiGuard updates and queries can be sent only to servers located in the European Union (EU).
In EU locations, it can be required that certain traffic is only handled by servers located in the EU. By setting the update server location to EU only, the FortiGate will use EU domains to resolve to EU servers for FortiGuard traffic to update, URL rating, and IoT servers.
