Hello Guys, Good day. I am currently using the Peplink Balance 20X device with 3 different WAN connections. I would like to ask if it is possible to configure the client network such that when online through WAN1, only ports 80/443 are allowed which configured on the outbound firewall rules. However, in the event of failover to WAN2, only ports 110 and 25 would be functional.
I would greatly appreciate any guidance or advice on how to achieve this setup.
Hello, may I know if anyone knows whether this is possible with Peplink?
How to tell to a computer connected to Peplink, to know when to use port 80/443 (tcp) or 110/25(tcp)?
I thought Peplink had a feature for this. I was thinking it’s possible to configure a firewall to allow traffic through a specific WAN port similar to other routers. Currently, I am using multiple outbound policies with “Weighted Balance” to achieve this.
Looking at firewall rules (8.5.2) there is no option for this.
Will be great to have this…
Another feature request to Peplink team.
You can specify outbound rules under: Advanced > Outbound Policy
Hi, @s.aksu
@Precision_Support448 asking for a conditional rule at firewall, that can check the WAN status to do or not to do.
Or… I understand wrong?
I believe it’s a combination of firewall rules and outbound policies. Firewall rules determine whether traffic is allowed or dropped, serving as a basic control mechanism. Outbound policies, on the other hand, manage which ports are reachable over specific WAN connections. They allow you to enforce traffic routing to a particular WAN, set priority for a specific WAN, or drop traffic if the designated WAN connection is unavailable.
In essence, the requested feature aligns more with outbound policy rules, which handle policy-based routing, rather than firewall rules, which primarily function as packet filters.
