this filter is piece of trash, it literally slows down my system and internet performance. However, being a self-proclaimed Tech Wizard, i was able to bypass it and regain full control. Now i can do whatever the f i want 🗿🗿

Hey so when I search up ' animals that are associated with fire ' doesn't mean I want to go in reddit so can you please for the love of god stop blocking stuff I search up in google.

Dear Fortinet, I am writing to lodge a formal complaint against FortiClient, a software that, I suspect, is secretly manipulating the gravitational pull of my kitchen appliances. While I initially installed it for VPN purposes (or so I thought), it has become clear that its influence extends far beyond the digital realm, creating a cascade of baffling and frankly unsettling experiences. Firstly, my toaster. It refuses to connect to the Wi-Fi. I've checked the breadcrumbs, I've realigned the bagel settings, I've even tried sacrificing a burnt piece of toast to the router gods. Nothing. The only new variable in this equation? FortiClient. I'm convinced it's emitting some kind of anti-toast signal, a silent microwave of breakfast denial. Secondly, the notifications. They've evolved. They're no longer just about network connectivity; they're philosophical. "Is the cloud real?" one pondered. "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound?" another mused. While I appreciate the existential pondering, I'm trying to work here! Can I at least get a notification when my cat is plotting world domination? That seems more relevant. Thirdly, the resource usage. It's not just my computer; it's my refrigerator, my washing machine, and, I suspect, my neighbor's prize-winning petunias. They're all lagging. I'm convinced FortiClient is siphoning power from the entire neighborhood, creating a localized energy crisis. My electric bill is through the roof! I suspect FortiClient is using the excess energy to power its secret toaster-hating agenda. Fourthly, the user interface. It's now displaying in Klingon. I don't speak Klingon. I tried using a universal translator app, but it crashed. I suspect FortiClient is behind this too. It's clearly sentient and actively sabotaging my attempts to understand it. Fifthly, the VPN connection. It connects me to… somewhere. I'm not sure where. Sometimes I think I'm in Uzbekistan. Other times, it feels like I'm trapped inside a screensaver. I've developed a mild form of agoraphobia related to virtual servers. Sixthly, the documentation. It's written in hieroglyphics. I tried deciphering it with an online tool, but it told me I was cursed and should seek the advice of a shaman. I'm starting to think the shaman might be my only hope. Seventhly, the startup time. It takes longer than it takes to bake a cake. A very complicated cake. With multiple layers and a fondant dragon. I could probably write a novel in the time it takes FortiClient to boot up. Eighthly, the integration. It's integrated with my dreams. I'm now having nightmares about sentient firewalls and rogue network cables. I wake up screaming. My cat is judging me. Ninthly, the updates. They've started installing subliminal messages. I'm now compelled to buy more cheese. I don't even like cheese. I suspect FortiClient is manipulating my subconscious. Finally, the constant nagging. It's not about features anymore. It's about my life choices. "Are you sure you want to wear those socks?" it asks. "Have you considered a career in interpretive dance?" it questions. I feel like I'm being interrogated by my own software. In summary, FortiClient has transcended the realm of mere software and become a malevolent force in my life. It's messing with my toaster, questioning my existence, and dictating my sock choices. I demand answers. And a new toaster. Sincerely, A Very Confused and Slightly Paranoid FortiClient User

I would give this stupid webfilter a 0/5 stars if possible but clearly I can't, this stupid extension is possibly the most inconsistent thing I've ever seen. As a Pokémon fan myself i like to go to Bulbapedia a lot but for some reason, it's blocked, so I go over to Serribi, what is essentially the same thing, and I can for some reason access it, why is this, I don't know. Another inconsistency is how I can't access Coolmath's games yet I have access to Minecraft, yes it is an old version but it's still Minecraft. This thing should be removed of the app store for everyone's sake.

It's seriously affecting internet web browsing performance making the browser almost unusable. You have the feeling of a very slow and bad internet connection.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort. It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats - the hobbit was fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill - The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called it - and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another. No going upstairs for the hobbit: bedrooms, bathrooms, cellars, pantries (lots of these), wardrobes (he had whole rooms devoted to clothes), kitchens, diningrooms, all were on the same floor, and indeed on the same passage. The best rooms were all on the left-hand side (going in), for these were the only ones to have windows, deep-set round windows looking over his garden and meadows beyond, sloping down to the river. 1/17 This hobbit was a very well-to-do hobbit, and his name was Baggins. The Bagginses had lived in the neighbourhood of The Hill for time out of mind, and people considered them very respectable, not only because most of them were rich, but also because they never had any adventures or did anything unexpected: you could tell what a Baggins would say on any question without the bother of asking him. This is a story of how a Baggins had an adventure, found himself doing and saying things altogether unexpected. He may have lost the neighbours' respect, but he gained- well, you will see whether he gained anything in the end. The mother of our particular hobbit -- what is a hobbit? I suppose hobbits need some description nowadays, since they have become rare and shy of the Big People, as they call us. They are (or were) a little people, about half our height, and smaller than the bearded Dwarves. Hobbits have no beards. There is little or no magic about them, except the ordinary everyday sort which helps them to disappear quietly and quickly when large stupid folk like you and me come blundering along, making a noise like elephants which they can hear a mile off. They are inclined to be at in the stomach; they dress in bright colours (chiefly green and yellow); wear no shoes, because their feet grow natural leathery soles and thick warm brown hair like the stuff on their heads (which is curly); have long clever brown fingers, good-natured faces, and laugh deep fruity laughs (especially after dinner, which they have twice a day when they can get it). Now you know enough to go on with. As I was saying, the mother of this hobbit - of Bilbo Baggins, that is - was the fabulous Belladonna Took, one of the three remarkable daughters of the Old Took, head of the hobbits who lived across The Water, the small river that ran at the foot of The Hill. It was often said (in other families) that long ago one of the Took ancestors must have taken a fairy wife. That was, of course, absurd, but certainly there was still something not entirely hobbit-like about them, - and once in a while members of the Took-clan would go and have adventures. They discreetly disappeared, and the family hushed it up; but the fact remained that the Tooks were not as respectable as the Bagginses, though they were undoubtedly richer. Not that Belladonna Took ever had any adventures after she became Mrs. Bungo Baggins. Bungo, that was Bilbo's father, built the most luxurious hobbit-hole for her (and partly with her money) that was to be found either under The Hill or over The Hill or across The Water, and there they remained to the end of their days. Still it is probable that Bilbo, her only son, although he looke

@FortiClient update this extension to meet Google's Manifest V3 requirements, thanks. This app does not Manifest v3 requirements for Chrome Browser. Please see [ github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/extension-manifest-converter ] to update your extension and roll the update out universally here. It will soon be unsupported, this triggered FortiClient to block/reset Chrome, this is very inconvenient.

very bad

Jack Warren 2023-07-03

Overall: Bad User Experience. My experience: - Easy to get around, disable or remove (even with a incredibly locked down and controlled system) + Same goes for the Forti Client VPN service. - Terrible Filtering which blocks many useful educational sites. - Websites are often categorized incorrectly or for the wrong things, and as such are blocked. - It sends your browsing history away. Things to note: - Blocked website categories are allocated by the system admins within Forti client, not the extension. - Your browsing history can be viewed by the system admins and Fortinet - Bad extension, if your going to use it, don't. - Better solutions can be provided, such as punishing the individuals who do bad things online and not the whole cohort of people. - I will not tell you how to bypass it until I don't have to deal with it anymore.

it suck it blocks coolmath how u mess up that bad

xyz 2023-03-28

it literally is a virus

-- 2023-02-11

Its a bad extension overall. Its very glitchy and even if you categorize it as something else, it won't get changed. I had this installed on my laptop and I didn't have any say in it. I cannot disable the extension, I can't get out of the fabric on Forticlient because my laptop will completely shut down. I didn't agree to the privacy policy, either. You literally can't search on google without "google.com/search is categorized as UNRATED." showing up. I had to sign into a different account just to write this. So overall, I would say I disliked it.

Nathan Faure 2022-10-26

This extension isn't actually bad. It is good for schools and parents to stop children from doing bad things. The bad reviews are just children complaining because their school downloaded it on their device.

Josuke Higashikata 2022-09-19

the makers of this extensionre retarted

Marcos Messa 2022-07-12

Horrible extension. Because it basically limits your freedom and forces you to install it to access sites like Google. It blocks useful websites and also tracks your actions and tells you what you are accessing somewhere, not being able to uninstall in case you need to use fortclient. Very different that the forticlient proposes to do is to carry out the VPN connection, the application of the spy application also.

Sami Palmu 2022-04-27

Horrible extension, this shuold not allowed to be in store. Cause its basicly limits your freedom by blocking usefull sites and its also tracks your doing and reports it somewhere what you cant control.

Lucy Wolve 2022-04-25

This sorry excuse for a vpn basically blocked every single thing it wasn't supposed to block. This piece of garbage shouldn't still be on here, someone please take it down or something, this is just pure garbage.

Joshuathestar Plays 2022-04-22

Im using this computer for school, and with this extension on it, i literally cannot do ANYTHING. Im not even exaggerating, I cannot even google search anything without it being blocked. I can't click on any links that my teacher sends me just literally everything is blocked I can't do my work and I cant even uninstall this extension I dont know what to do.

Shadow Wizard 2022-04-21

Just why I can't go to anything at all pretty much and I've dumped countless hours trying to remove it! I just want to chill out when everythings done but I can't go nowhere but coolmath, thanks school

Sophira Fowler 2022-04-19

This is my 13th reason. This thing has ruined my life and it has threatened to kill my family. -12 stars. ;(

Chris Dunton 2022-04-13

Absolutely abysmal, but if you want to use it to ruin a computer's ability to connect to the internet, just open up the console by clicking the tray icon, go to Zero Trust Telemetry, click the dropdown menu, and click forget. It will make the computer almost unusable on most websites. If you want to send a message, do this to every computer you can to force them to uninstall it from the system.

Juice 2022-04-04

its so dumb. its installed on my computer. BUT MY SCHOOL BLOCKED IT. NOW THIS DUMB THING IS STILL ON MY COMPUTER WITH NO WAY TO REMOVE IT. please tke this down. and the creator needs to go to hell. dead or alive
