Different route for streaming/Netflix

Hi guys,

I've just installed Sensei on my OPNsense and understand how I can block different apps like Netflix etc...

What I like to do though is to route just the Netflix traffic through my WAN2, while all other traffic goes through WAN1. I cannot do it IP/host based as the same host should use WAN1 for standard traffic just for Netflix WAN2.

Is this even possible?

Thanks
Soko

Hi @soko, that'd be a great feature for the product. Though, we're not there -yet- :)

Hi mb,

I was worried that this would be the answer :(
So it is theoretically possible... which is something i guess...

Thanks
Soko

If you know ALL Netflix address servers, you can make a firewall rule  ;D

I went down that road.
Made a script to get all the addresses.
I whitelisted multiple subnet's from AWS.

It worked for 2 minutes at most. It aways somehow detects I'm on a VPN.
Only thing that works is route ALL the traffic of the Netflix devices to regular WAN.

If we could  route with Sensei... that would be great.
