Hello All,
Can we set WAN based policies using Peplink B One 5G unit? We have 2 WAN connections one is Starlink, and failover is Iridium Certus. There are 2 VLAN a) business b) crew. When Starlink is available both Business and crew line should work with certain restrictions. When Starlink is not available it should failover to Iridium Certus, however only GTmail should work rest blocked. Is this possible via Peplink?
Hi Elcome Team,
Yes, this is possible.
I think easiest way to do this would be to manage your outbound policies.
Setup a priority for Starlink,
And setup a special rule for GTmail - I don’t remember exactly what domains are used, but Iridium Support can help you there.
You may consider setting up multiple rules for Iridium (based on multiple destinations).
Make sure your Starlink rule is on top, and your Iridium email below.
Finally, make sure no other rule are setup (Like the default HTTPS rule and auto rule as well). Remove these to avoid unexpected behaviour.
Cheers
Also - have a look at a similar post from 2020.

Martyn had some good points about reducing data usage as well if not on an unlimited plan.
Thank you Nik for your suggestion and sharing the reference link. Will try this.
