      Howdy!

      I have just a question of understanding: if I create a Gateway Group with (for example) WAN1, WAN2 and WAN3 each in Tier1 and WAN4 in Tier2 (as fallback) and set this Gateway Group as default gateway do I have to modifiy or add any firewall rules for my LAN connections?

      Thank you in advance 😎

        Based on my understanding (which might be wrong), set your Gateway Group as the default Gateway then you shouldn't need to modify the firewall rules.

        In my case, I need to modify the firewall rules to block all but high priority devices from using the backup (Tier 2) WAN. But, if thats not a concern of yours then I think you should be fine.
