uOS - Policy Route with Application Criteria

Application-Based Policy Routing

Policy routes in uOS have been enhanced to support Application Criteria. Instead of being limited to IP addresses or service objects (ports), administrators can now route traffic based on specific applications identified by the firewall's inspection engine.

GUI and NCC Implementation

In the local web GUI, the Service Type dropdown now includes an "Application" option, which reveals a list of searchable applications. This feature is also supported in Nebula Control Center (NCC) version 19.30, though the interface differs slightly; users choose between "Service Object" and "Application" to define their routing criteria. This allows for more granular control, such as routing all "Office365" or "YouTube" traffic through a specific WAN interface or VPN tunnel.

GUI: Network > Routing > Policy Route

NCC: Site-wide > Configure > Firewall > Routing
