      You mean policy route.. ie send some traffic out wan 1, and other traffic out wan 2?

      Yeah you can do that based upon a few different criteria.. The destination port could be used as criteria for routing specific traffic.

          Thanks for the reply :)

          To further explain my question what i mean is that if a user uses a certain type of application which is i consider as a priority its packets will go to the high priority route but if i consider it as a low priority it will go to the other route. Does policy route do that?

            Again you can use all kinds of things to determine what goes where... Yes you could have port 80 go out wan 1, port 443 go out wan 2 or vpnX, etc.

            You could also use dest IP, or source IP or a combo of both, or even source port to determine which gateway is used.

                While that "might" be possible - how exactly are you going to mark the packets before the routing decision is made?

                    Your going to be best off asking such a question in the snort (ips) section most likely... Off the top of my head - not seeing how your going to mark the packets.. Sure if the traffics were marked before they got evaluated then sure you could route them out a specific gateway.

                    So these "apps" your wanting to route - you don't know a dest IP or port?

                      Maybe i can create a topology that has 2 different routers So i can assign a dest IP/port , then i can send high priority apps to the faster one and low priority apps to the other one?

                        Why would you need more than 1 router... If you know the dest IP and or port - then you can just create the firewall rule in pfsense to send it where you want "gateway"

                        Give an example of application your trying to route.. How is it you would need appID to determine what it is?
