Localhost services - how to use policy routing?

[jarlel]

Hi all :-)

By default it looks like localhost services use default gateway on the WAN-side.

I need to enable policy routing for the local services - how can I achieve that? I have tried a floating rule, but without success. I am using curl locally to check for WAN IP-address change in a script, and need to use policy routing instead of default gateway.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Has anyone solved this in some way?

There is some issues:

You can select only the outgoing interface for the Squid Proxy package:

@jarlel Traffic is policy routed when it enters an interface.

Traffic sourced from localhost never enters an interface so it cannot be policy routed.
