Hi, I found this epic script somewhere on the net and have 1 problem, and its :global ddnsinterface “ether10”
I’ve got 2 WAN connections set on failover, ether10 @wan1 distance1 and ether9@wan2 distance2, its not the best option, but it kinda works, so my question is, can the script be changed so that ether9 can be used when ether10 is offline or unstable to reach the web 8.8.8.8 or whatever

simple mode on: add 2 script, one for wan1 and other for wan2 (you need 2 ddns account), then you can choose for by which connection you would enter to the router
*set up global variable holding active interface name
*set up script that will set that global variable with active interface name, like - main itnerface and backup interface and if main is up, backup should be used
*change your current script to use the global variable with current active interface name.
to use this global variable successfully use script and scheduler as they can share same user space and variables will be created within it. Netwatch uses different user to run its scripts.
I’ve lost you there, but I’ve got a failover setup with 2 WAN’s, and netwatch is going to keep showing online, becuase wan2 will kick in after wan1 died
