Indetify Router Initiated Traffic

Hallo Guys

I am looking for a firewall filter rule to identify and accept traffic that was Initiated by the actual router.

Example, if the router sends out a email I don’t want to specifically allow input and output for smtp traffic but rather just identify that the router is sending a email and then simply allow it.

Example, if the actual router dials a vpn connection I don’t want to specifically allow this but if the router initiated the connection it should be allowed.

Thanks’ in advance :slight_smile:

That’s output chain. Use other rule conditions according to your needs.

So this is what I did if anyone is interested:

add action=passthrough chain=forward comment="-------------------------------------------------- router initiated traffic " disabled=yes

add chain=“input - x” comment=“accept - new traffic” connection-state=new disabled=yes

add chain=“input - x” comment=“accept - related traffic” connection-state=related

add chain=“input - x” comment="accept - established traffic " connection-state=established

add action=passthrough chain=forward comment=--------------- disabled=yes

add chain=“output - x” comment=“accept - new traffic” connection-state=new

add chain=“output - x” comment=“accept - related traffic” connection-state=related

add chain=“output - x” comment="accept - established traffic " connection-state=established
