Re: [Astlinux-users] Pinging the failover interface

[Michael K. <mic...@ip...>]

Yes I gathered that was the case. Hmm wonder why it was working for a while.
So it doesn't seem too difficult to set up policy based routing from this article which sends traffic out the interface it was received.

What do you think?

    Exactly.  If there is not a return route to your source IP the packet is lost.
    
    Or if over WireGuard, a too narrow AllowedIPs to allow the return packet.
    
    Using "ip r" at each end should tell the story.
