Title: Forwarding all Dropbox traffic to a specific WLAN
Post by: dbuenosilva on December 07, 2020, 10:19:50 am

Hi there!

I configured 3 balanced WAN links on OpenSense. However, I would like to forward all Dropbox traffic to a specific WLAN3 because it has a higher upload.

It is possible?

Create a firewall rule with destination Dropbox networks and select the right gateway.

Thanks for the hint. I tried the rule:

Interface: LAN
 Direction: In
 Destination: Dropbox (Alias with all possible URL)
 Gateway: WAN3


However, all uploads to Dropbox are still going by WAN ( main link ).

Is that rule wrong?

I can think about 2 reasons here:
1) your rule is not used because another rule was allowing this traffic already. So make sure this rule is on top of the table

2) your alias is not holding all possible dropbox IPs/networks. I don’t know how well fqdn are working well here. I would search for a list of dropbox networks and create an alias with it. A quick google search revealed this (maybe outdated) thread: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-files-folders/Subnets-IPs-of-dropbox-com/td-p/30789

You can use the „Inspect“ button in the firewall rules view to see if your rule is inspected.
