Hi :)

Thank you for this amazing work. It's so great.

I am trying to enable/disable firewall policy - to no avail. Is this not catered for or am I missing something? Would appreciate any insights please. Thanks in advance!

Hi @gitTerracide

You can look help :-) (or doc) ! -status parameter is (powershell) bool

help set-fgtfirewallpolicy -example
[...]
 -------------------------- EXAMPLE 4 --------------------------

    PS > $MyFGTPolicy = Get-FGTFirewallPolicy -name MyFGTPolicy
    PS C:\>$MyFGTPolicy | Set-FGTFirewallPolicy -status:$false

    Change MyFGTPolicy to set status disable
[...]

You need to use for enable policy status

Get-FGTFirewallPolicy -name Public-NAT-443_443-Nginx | Set-FGTFirewallPolicy -status

and for disable policy status

Get-FGTFirewallPolicy -name Public-NAT-443_443-Nginx | Set-FGTFirewallPolicy -status:$false
