Fortinet

The CrowdSec Fortinet integration connects CrowdSec's hosted blocklist endpoint to your Fortinet firewall.
Fortinet calls this feature IP address Threat Feeds, which enable you to integrate external threat intelligence sources into your firewall policies.

info

Ensure your Fortinet firmware supports IP address Threat Feeds.
The vendor documentation is available in the References section below.

Setup a Fortinet Integration Endpoint

1- Create an integration

Step 1 - Create an integration in the CrowdSec Console

In your CrowdSec Console account, navigate to the Blocklist tab in the top menu bar, then select the Integrations sub-menu. Choose the integration type you need, then click Connect.

info

If you don't have a CrowdSec Console account, sign up here. On mobile, use the menu icon in the top-right corner, tap Blocklist, then Integrations.

2- Configure Endpoint

Step 2 - Fill in integration details

Name the integration (must be unique to your account) Optionally, add a description and tags to help you identify it later.

You can also configure:

• Enable IP aggregation — aggregate IPs into CIDR blocks to reduce list size
• Pull limit — maximum number of IPs returned per pull (default: 10,000)

Then click Create or Save.

3- Save your credentials

Step 3 - Copy your credentials

warning

The credentials shown next are displayed only once. Copy them before closing this screen. If you lose your credentials, you can regenerate them via Configure → Regenerate Credentials on the integration page.

With this HTTPS endpoint and Basic Auth credentials, you can verify the endpoint with any HTTP client, for example:

SH

curl -u 'usr:pass' https://admin.api.crowdsec.net/v1/integrations/$integID/content

4- Subscribe to blocklists

Step 4 - Subscribe to Blocklists

The integration endpoint will serve the deduplicated blocklists it's subscribed to. After creation, a subscription pop-up appears automatically. You can also access it later via the Add Blocklist button.

Select one or more blocklists available for your plan, then click Confirm Subscription. The blocklist name(s) will appear in the integration tile once subscribed.

Manage integration size limits with pagination

If you want to learn how to manage integration size limits with pagination, please refer to the Managing integrations size limits with pagination section.

This integration uses the plain text format. When pulling without compression, keep page_size at or below ~300,000 entries to stay under the ~5 MB response limit; beyond that the response is truncated. Enabling compression avoids this limit entirely.
