      Hi,

      I am after an automated solution to either update list of aliases or firewall rules. My use case is following:

      • multi-wan setup
      • one of the WANs is very good but metered, the other unmetered but worse quality

      At the moment, whenever people get to work I change the aliases to include their machines to get routed via the good WAN, also disabling their backups. After hours, I let their machines on the non-metered WAN to sync up and just let sit.

      Is there any way to do this automatically?

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

          That's the thing, it cannot be 100% scheduled - it will be based on users checking-in to work, as we want to make sure they actually got to their machines to limit the "premium" bandwidth use.

          I can have all of the rules pre-set, I just need to selectively disabled/enabled.
