      I have several IoT hosts on my network. I also use WAN failover. Since I can't find a way to have states killed when Tier 1 comes back online, I have set several hosts Firewall rules to use the Tier 1 gateway. But I have found when WAN fails over, they are still using Tier 2 when it becomes available. I did this in Advanced Firewall rule settings for Gateway. Am I missing something? My goal is to never let these use Tier 2 even if Tier 1 is not available.

      WAN_DHCP is Tier 1.

        Possibly a check mark here:
        System > Advanced > Miscellaneous > Do not create rules when gateway is down
