Source Route, Destination Tunnel

Hi there - when testing out RutOS with IPSec tunnels and Source Routing, I don’t see the tunnel interface showing up in the WebUI.

For example, I wanted to setup a source route of the LAN interface subnet to route through the IPSec tunnel I created (up and connected) to a remote end, however the tunnel interface does not show up under ‘routing rules’ ‘outgoing interface’. Is this by design ?.

When I look at the CLI I see the Tunnel interface successfully with ‘ifconfig’.

It’s normally quite simple to create a source routing rule to go via tunnel interfaces on other systems. Any pointers appreciated.

Hello,

Could you please clarify your intended goal in a bit more detail? Are you using a route based IPsec, policy-based routing, or a static route?

To better understand your setup, could you share a simple network topology (including IP addresses) along with screenshots from the WebUI showing where the routing changes were made?

Best regards,

Hi @anon65719490

Was trying to use PBR and Routing Rules. I have an IPSec tunnel up and expected to see this as an option for the outgoing interface…..maybe just my lack of understanding.

i.e., outgoing interfaces seem to be the default on the box, I don’t see any created interfaces (such as the tunnel, etc).

Many thanks….

Hello,

Apologies for the delay. Could you confirm if I understand your request correctly? From the initial description, you would like to route all outbound LAN traffic through the IPsec tunnel. In this case, you wouldn’t need to use PBR or routing rules, this can be done simply by enabling the Default Route option under the IPsec Connection configuration settings field.

Let me know if you have any further questions or need assistance.

Best regards,

Hi @anon65719490 - No worries. I was just curious about PBR & Routing Rules and the fact that created interfaces, such as the IPSec tunnel interface, could not be chosen - only the in-built physical interfaces from the WebUI.

Take care.

Steve
