Different route for streaming (Netflix) possible?
«

Hi guys,
I know its possible to setup different rules (based in alias/host/IPs) to route a device through a different WAN than the rest of the network.
What I like to do though is to route Netflix traffic to a different WAN. Is this possible?
So I would like to browse on a computer through the WAN1 and just the Netflix app on it should use WAN2.
Thanks
Soko
PS: I've posted basically the same in the Sensei forum (
https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=20628.0
) as I thought this is the way to go... but I can't find out how. So maybe there is a way without Sensei.

You would need to know the Netflix networks and save them to an Alias. Then you would habe a rule that has the local device‘s IP address as source and the Netflix Alias as destination. In that rule you set the gateway to your other WAN.
Main problem is to find all Netflix network addresses and to keep that alias up-to-date.

This is why I hoped there is another solution than that
Like an application based rule. Apparently its possible as Sensei can block Netflix traffic. So it should be possible not just to block but also to route in a different way...or do I miss something here?
thanks
