Enforce 'Safe Search' on Google, Bing, YouTube FortiGuard Category Based Filter Pre-configured filters Custom G PG-13 R Allow Monitor Redirect to Block Portal Name Action Extremist Groups Monitor Proxy Avoidance Allow Plagiarism Allow Child Sexual Abuse Allow Terrorism Redirect to Block...

A social media post shows a FortiGate DNS filtering settings screen where dangerous categories such as “Child Sexual Abuse” are set to Allow, while other categories are monitored or blocked.
