Manage your firewalls from wherever you are. NetGo puts your FortiGate firewalls in your pocket. Check status, review configs, and make changes when you're away from your desk, all from a fast, no-nonsense mobile app built for people who actually run networks. Works with FortiGate devices running FortiOS 7.4. and later MONITOR AT A GLANCE Live CPU, memory and session graphs, system info and HA cluster status. Interfaces with real-time throughput, IPsec VPN tunnels, firewall policies with live hit/session counters. Traffic logs with mobile-friendly filtering. CHANGE THINGS SAFELY: THREE WRITE MODES Use a read-only API token when you just want to look, or a read/write token when you need to fix things. Then choose how changes apply: Direct: applied instantly. Confirmation: approve each change before it's sent. Draft: queue changes and deploy them in one batch. Edit policies, address & service objects, static routes, DNS/DDNS, SD-WAN, interfaces & VLANs, zones, security profiles (Application Control, IPS, SSL inspection) and FortiSwitch ports. ALERTS THAT REACH YOU Push notifications the moment something goes wrong: an interface goes down, a VPN tunnel drops, an HA failover, high CPU, conserve mode, a reboot, license or certificate expiry, and more. You hear about problems before your users start calling. SEE WHO'S CONNECTED Browse Wi-Fi and FortiSwitch clients with search and filters, and inspect live sessions (search, select and end sessions). BUILT FOR NETWORK PEOPLE A clean interface designed for real admin work. Biometric app lock (Face ID / Touch ID). Secure connections with certificate pinning. Multiple FortiGates, synced across your devices via iCloud Keychain. PRIVACY Your FortiGate tokens and passwords stay on your device (in the iOS Keychain) and are never sent to us.
