What is Policy Based Routing - PBR? It's not beer in this case.

What is PBR (Policy Based Routing)? It's not a beer! If your router supports it PBR allows you to send and receive traffic based on source, destination, protocol, and port, out of any interface you like!

Hey Willie. I just started playing with unleashed. Can PBR be done on unleashed? Can you have a series on unleashed if others would be interested?

Hello Willie, I'm trying to implement a setup with both local and OpenVPN VLAN's on the ER-X, by following one of your old videos (the PIA series). This is the first time I've seen and dealt with PBR and I've been struggling for a couple days. I think the ER4 configuration from your videos differs from the ER-X.
I'm writing up an email to send you. Thanks.
