    I can’t watch the video. Youtube says “Video unavailable: This video is restricted. Try signing in with a Google Apps account.” Even when I connect, i still can’t.

    I have this same issue and it occurred once I installed the latest version of Forticlient on a clean install of Windows 10. I even tried to uninstall it as well as enable all web filters. It IS an issue with more than just this video. a TicTok youtube ad is also restricted and it works on my other devices.. There is something strange that Forticlient is not allowing to be fixed and even with with the uninstall process its still not fixed.. They offer me no customer service since I tired it for the first time for free today.. It has to be some policy or something that is blocking the videos… Please help!

    Hi Mike,
    So, it worked. I have 2 switches functional on my Fortigate 60E. The problem that I have now is why the second switch has full access to the WAN without any IPv4 policy. And even I add a specific policy, between this new switch and WAN, this one is completely ignored. I did something wrong but I do not know where.
    Thank you

      Dan,
      Did you create a completely new switch separate from the WAN interface? If the WAN interface is on the same switch that is where your issue is.
