Fortinet FortiWiFi 71G URL, DNS & Video Filtering, 1-Year (FC-10-FW71G-112-02-12)

Web filtering is one of the most direct ways to reduce the attack surface on any network — and on a FortiWiFi 71G, it covers both wired and wireless clients simultaneously. The URL, DNS & Video Filtering subscription gives the device a live-updated category database, DNS sinkholing for malicious domains, and video streaming controls for sites like YouTube, all running through the same FortiOS engine that handles your firewall rules.

What This Subscription Covers

The FC-10-FW71G-112-02-12 activates three related capabilities:

• URL filtering: FortiGuard’s URL category database covers billions of URLs across dozens of categories — malware distribution, phishing, adult content, gambling, social media, and more. You set the policy; the engine enforces it.
• DNS filtering: Blocks malicious domain resolutions at the DNS layer before a connection is established. Effective against fast-flux domains and C2 callbacks that shift IP addresses frequently.
• Video filtering: Applies safe-search enforcement and category-level controls to YouTube and other streaming sites, relevant for workplaces where streaming bandwidth or content access needs managing.

Who This Is For

Small and medium businesses that use the FortiWiFi 71G as their primary gateway benefit from URL and DNS filtering as a baseline protection layer. Retail, professional services, and education environments where employee or guest web access needs category-based controls are common use cases. The DNS filtering component also helps with compliance by blocking known malicious domain lookups — a capability that some cyber insurance underwriters now ask about specifically.

URL/DNS Filtering vs. the Full Bundle

URL, DNS & Video Filtering is included in the UTP and Enterprise bundles for the FortiWiFi 71G, but not in the ATP bundle. The table below shows where this service fits:

If you only need URL/DNS filtering and not the full bundle stack, this standalone license is the right choice. If you want all bundle services in one subscription, compare it against the UTP option.
