How to force a host to use a ONLY different the second WAN connection
-
I searched but could not find this answer.
Can I get a push in the right direction here?
-
how is about a firewall rule:
his ip-adress -> gateway 2.WAN -
use policy routing –> create a firewall rule in the LAN-tab (make sure it is above the any-to-any rule)
set source: your_lan_host
set destination: any
set gateway: WAN2_gateway -
I tried a LAN firewall rule above the any to any rule, unless "policy routing" is something other than a firewall rule, then those suggestions didn't seem to work.
The way i verified this was two ways:
- I checked the traffic for that second interface and there was none
- I browsed the web from the host and was told my external IP was the IP for the wrong WAN interface.
Thoughts?
-
did you reset states after you added the rule ?
-
Absolutely.
Even rebooted the host and the firewall
-
Can you please attach a screenshot of your FW rules
-
When I went to go take a screenshot of the firewall rules I noticed a typo in the IP address.
It's working perfectly fine now.
Your suggestions were what needed to happen I simply made a typographical error.
