Opnsense prerouting (Policy based routing)?

[Jeroen1000]

Hi!

I've noticed *bsd is a fair bit different than Linux. Normally, for PBR I would use

Code Select Expand

MARK --set-mark 1 as described here https://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO/lartc.netfilter.html.

However, as I understand, no router will not able to act on this type of 'mark' as its not actually something that is set in the ip packet. What kind of actionable items can Opnsense use for a policy based routing decision? Hereby excluding the source and destination address as possible candidates.

I have a Linux router in play that will have to mark the traffic somehow so that Opnsense can route it out of the desired interface.

You can set the Gateway in a firewall rule, but this only matches for packets going through the firewall.
Packets originating by the firewall can't be policy routed ..

Only forwarding chain is ok. But I couldn't really find whether you can match the ToS bits in order to make a routing decision. OR whether there is something better to use than the ToS bits.

I.E.  if match IP precedence 2 => route to GW A
       if match IP precedence 3 => route to GW B

The ToS bits will be set by another router.

Does "Match priority" under "Advanced Options" for a rule do what you want?
