Don_Ferrario:
You need to add an outbound policy rule.
Destination = your cloud server’s IP address
Algorithm = Priority
Priority Order = whichever WAN you want to use as primary
a the bottom check the box for “terminate sessions on link recovery”
Rules are applied from the top of the tree and then down, with the first matching rule being applied. This is probably your first rule so it should appear at the top but if necessary you can drag it to the top by pulling on the dots to the left of the rule name.
With this rule all traffic to your cloud server will go out through the primary WAN unless that WAN is down. The selection for “terminate sessions on link recovery” means that when the WAN is restored, traffic immediately follows the rule even if that means temporarily breaking an active connection. If you don’t check that box, then you don’t know for sure which way the traffic will flow. That can lead to different pieces (ports) of your traffic to the same server going out different WAN sources.
So, just to be clear, in the SOHO Surf router web interface, I need to go to the ADVANCED tab and click on ACCESS RULES in the left panel under FIREWALL. Then add an outbound policy as follows:
But when I go to the outbound policy rule, I don’t see the Algorithm, Priority Order, or the checkbox for “terminate sessions on link recovery”.
Am I just not in the correct place?
