      Is there a way to shape traffic based on URL destinations? I would like to have Hulu and Disney plus higher than Xbox games etc.

      Is this possible?

        @jonathanlee You can in theory use hostnames in aliases but there are caveats, most notably if the service changes IPs frequently.

        You can tag packets uploading from the Xbox IP and make those rules a step lower than the two services. If the two services are not used on the Xbox then you could match UDP traffic (I assume?) going towards that device's IP.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          @steveits Try using pfBlocker to create aliases based on their ASN numbers.

          YMMV.
