Fortinet signs firmware with GPG keys. Advanced users can import Fortinet’s public key and verify:

gpg --verify fortinet-signature.asc fgtvm64kvmv6-build1010.qcow2

1. Understanding the FortiGate VM for KVM

Step 3 – Safe download & usage recommendation

If you have not yet downloaded the file: fgtvm64kvmv6build1010fortinetoutkvmqcow2 download verified

• Do not download from untrusted third-party sites (security risk – backdoored images exist).
• Do log into the official Fortinet Support → Downloads → FortiGate → VM images → KVM → Select your version/build.
• Look for build 1010 only if it’s listed as a valid GA or patch release. If not found, the build might be internal or obsolete.

If you already downloaded it and cannot verify authenticity: File Overview

• Do not run it in production or on a network you care about.
• Run it only in an isolated, non-production lab with no internet access for analysis.

Step 5 – Deployment note

Once verified, you can deploy the image with: Filename: FGTVM64_KVMV6_BUILD1010_FORTINET_out

virt-install ... --disk path=fgtvm64kvmv6build1010fortinetoutkvmqcow2,format=qcow2 ...

Or convert/import via virt-manager or virsh.

What is FortiGate VM for KVM?

FortiGate VM is a software version of Fortinet’s firewall, VPN, IPS, web filtering, and antivirus gateway. The KVM version runs on open-source virtualization (libvirt, QEMU, oVirt, OpenStack). The QCOW2 format allows snapshots, thin provisioning, and efficient storage.

2. Create the Virtual Machine

• OS Type: Select "Linux" or "Other OS".
• CPU: FortiGate VM usually requires at least 1 vCPU (2 is recommended for better performance).
• RAM: Minimum 1 GB (2 GB recommended).
• Network: It is highly recommended to set the first network adapter (Port1) to the VMXNET3 or VirtIO driver for best performance, though E1000 (Intel e1000) is a safe fallback for compatibility.

1. Upload the Image

• Proxmox VE: Go to your storage (e.g., local), click ISO Images, and upload the .qcow2 file. Note: In Proxmox, you typically select "Images" or "ISO" depending on the storage type.
• Linux KVM (CLI): Move the file to your image storage directory (e.g., /var/lib/libvirt/images/).
