  1. From the endpoint, open a browser.
  2. Browse to a webpage.
  3. An authentication prompt appears. Enter your username and password.

  4. Once authenticated, you can browse to any webpage. FortiSASE scans this traffic.
  5. Browse to a webpage that triggers a Web Filter violation. The browser shows a message that FortiSASE blocks the webpage.
