Firewall rules for routing traffic to a specific provider, or decrease/increase priority, are applied only to network traffic which traverse the gateway.
These rules don't apply if the traffic goes through the proxy because the traffic is generated from the gateway itself.
Scenario:
- Web proxy enabled in transparent mode
- the firewall contains a rule like: the traffic from the host
goofy to the public Internet must have low priority
- when
goofy tries to access a non-HTTP service like SSH, the traffic has low priority
- when
goofy tries to access a web site, the traffic is intercepted by the proxy and the low priority rule is not applied
The new web interface for the web proxy, will allow to create rules like:
- HTTP/S traffic from host badpc has low priority
- HTTP/S traffic from CIDR service_net has high priority
- HTTP/S traffic from myprinter diverted to myslownet provider (automatic failover)
- HTTP/S traffic from mywebserver forced to myfastnet provider (no switch if the WAN goes down)
