Are these floating rules correct?

Hi there,
I'm trying to optimize my network, but I'm a little confused about the floating rules. My intention is to lower the traffic priority of the local P2P server, and to raise the traffic priority of local OpenVPN server and remote RDP. Are these floating rules correct?
Thank you.

That rule for the OpenVPN server should be inbound on WAN with a destoination port of 1194 if you are trying to catch traffic from clients connecting in to it.

Hi @stephenw10
Thank you for your reply.
Should I change the LAN P2P SERVER to "Destoination" on WAN interface too? Now it has both inbound and outbound (any) directions.
-
Probably not. You want that to match outbound since the server is opening the connections to external addresses.
If the server also accepts connections from external IPs then, yes, you would want additional rules to match that traffic too.Steve

@upper-deck If you're finding traffic isn't getting into the queues as expected (Status/Queues) I suggest finding the state for the IP (Diagnostics/States). For example, downloads from a web server are generally an incoming connection to the web server and the download is merely the response.
