- "The FortiGate will still function as a firewall if any or all of the FortiGuard licenses are expired. ... FortiGuard services are designed to be continuous. Any lapses in the service will require coverage back to the contract expiration date. ... Category-based Web and DNS filtering stops working, as URLs and domains are sent to FortiGuard in real-time to determine the category. By default, all web and DNS traffic is dropped."
