FortiGate-40F Firewall Appliance plus 1 Year FortiCare Premium and FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection (UTP) (FG-40F-BDL-950-12)

This says it all. Factory Sealed, Valid Support Entitlement, Seller BlueAlly listed as an authorized seller. with 1 year as described. Half the price of others Been using some older ebay fortigates for a long time they work great, but I needed VPN access and would like better filtering for my children. Setup for me was easy but this is like my 3rd HA pair of these so I knew what to expect. I enjoyed the UI improvements in 7.4 having come from 6.0. I am able to control dns better and retired my piholes. If it becomes where I am still getting ads then because these support DoH I can always forward to NextDNS. However so far so good using forti dns servers and dns filtering. If the Application control is even just as good as it was in 6.0 I am sure I will be happy with it, as when I was using the ebay models I was able to filter for my children but the application list was years old and took a lot of manual work. However it should be noted pretty good control can be achieved with manual work so even if with a new license and fresh db there is a need I know manual works.

Product was exactly the right item. Arrived well-packaged. Thanks!

Good so far. Will update review if that changes

product with license expired.. was useless.

Considering it is the “smallest” of the current generation Fortigates , it handles almost anything I throw at it (struggles a bit with high bandwidth ISCSI, but that could be my slow Comcast upload speeds). In true Fortinet fashion the unit is easy to setup and configure (once you get past the FortiOS learning curve). Never had any issues related to the unit and any technical questions were promptly answered by Fortinet support.
