UTM: Unified Threat Management The FortiGate unit has a series of built-in security controls that allow you to prevent access to specific types of content on the web.

Proxies are redirection services, that allow users to pass their traffic through an intermediary to mask its source or destination.

Blocking access to proxies can discourage your users from misusing them.
