The FortiGate unit will redirect your web browser to the FortiGate SSL VPN
Remote Access Web Portal home page automatically.
The fields in the Tools area enable you to specify the URL or IP address of a host
computer. If required, you can ping a host computer behind the FortiGate unit to
verify connectivity to that host.
To connect to a web server from the Tools area
1 In the Connect to Web Server field, type the URL of the web server (for example,
http://www.mywebexample.com or https://172.20.120.101).
2 Select Go.
The FortiGate unit replaces the URL with
https://<FG_IP_address>:<port_no>/proxy/http/<specified_URL> and
the requested page is displayed.
3 To end the session, close the browser window.
To ping a host or server behind the FortiGate unit
1 In the Test for Reachability (Ping) field, type the IP address of the host or server
that you want to reach (for example, 192.168.12.22).
2 Select Go.
A message stating whether the IP address can be reached or not is displayed.
