UniFi Gateway - Traffic Routes

Traffic Routes is a feature found in the Traffic Management section of your Network application that allows you to send traffic to a specific destination such as a WAN port or a VPN Client interface. This feature may also be referred to as Policy Based Routing or PBR.

Requirements

• A Next-Gen UniFi gateway or UniFi Cloud Gateway

Available Options

Traffic Routes can be configured to:

• • Match an entire LAN network or a specific client device.
  • Send traffic to the secondary WAN port.
  • Match either All or Specific client traffic, such as a geographical region.

Specific traffic can match on the following:

• • IP address + port
  • IP address range
  • Domain name
  • Region

Note: Domain matching requires the client devices to use the UniFi gateway as the DNS server.

Examples

If you want to send specific streaming traffic from your Apple TV to a VPN Client tunnel, create a Traffic Route with the following options:

• Type: Specific Traffic
• Category: Domain Name
• Domain Name: Add one or more domains used by the streaming service
• Target: Apple TV
• Interface: VPN Client

If you want to send all traffic from a Virtual Network to the secondary WAN port, then create a Traffic Route with the following options:

• Type: All Traffic
• Target: Select the Virtual Network name
• Interface: WAN2
