To make sure your end users can reach usecure's landing page URLs when using a Fortinet FortiGate firewall, we recommend allow-listing usecure's domains by adding them to the Static URL Filter in FortiGate.
Note: The guidelines in this article are based on Fortinet's Static URL Filter knowledge base. If your setup differs from the one outlined here, we suggest reaching out to FortiGate for specific instructions for your environment.
Allow-list domains by Static URL Filter
Log into your Fortinet account
Navigate to Security Profiles > Web Filter.
Create a new web filter or select one to edit.
Expand Static URL Filter, enable URL Filter, and select Create.
Enter usecure’s landing page domains.
Select Type: Simple.
Select the Action to take against matching URLs: Allow.
Confirm that Status is enabled.
Allow-list domains using the CLI
1. Go to your Web Filter Profile
Enter:
config webfilter profile
show
Locate the profile name applied to your firewall policy (commonly "default").
To edit a specific profile:
config webfilter profile
edit "default"
Replace "default" with your actual profile name.
2. Check if a URL Filter Table is assigned
While inside the profile, run:
show | grep urlfilter-table
If you see:
set urlfilter-table 1
A table is already assigned, proceed to Step 5.
If nothing returns, you must create and assign a URL Filter Table.
Exit the profile:
end
3. Create a URL Filter Table (If needed)
Create a new URL filter table:
config webfilter urlfilter
edit 1
set name "default"
next
end
Notes:
You can change 1 to another unused ID.
The name "default" can be replaced with any descriptive name.
4. Assign the URL Filter Table to your profile
Re-enter your profile and assign the table:
config webfilter profile
edit "default"
config web
set urlfilter-table 1
end
After this step, the profile now has access to URL filtering entries.
5. Add URL Entries
Now add your required domains.
Example:
config webfilter urlfilter
edit 1
config entries
edit 1
set url "usecure.io"
set action allow
next
edit 2
set url "domain2.com"
set action allow
next
edit 3
set url "domain3.com"
set action allow
next
end
Repeat for all required domains.
Bulk Adding Multiple Domains
If starting from scratch, you can paste a full script containing all domains into the CLI at once.
If you already have entries in the table:
Check existing entry numbers:
config webfilter urlfilter
edit 1
showStart at the next available
editnumber.
AI tools can generate the full CLI block for all required domains if needed.
