Hi @Clive_A
Regarding IPSec performance, it's not speed that's the issue but rather loading or maintaining sessions both HTTP and SSH. It can take 5 minutes to load a page which otherwise takes about 30 seconds maximum over OpenVPN. Likewise SSH, it won't drop the session but it hangs for some time then catches it self back up again.
If there are any specific tests you would like me to run please let me know and I'll be more than happy to do so. I've re-enabled the HTTP sensors on our network monitoring server to get a record of how often it's reporting a loss of connection.
Regarding the port forwarding, I think I've figured out what the issue might be.
The setup is:
Existing Rule 1:
Source: Any
Interface: All
WAN IP: Blank (Unable to specify IP xxx.xxx.xxx.194)
Source Port: 80
Destination IP: xx.xx.xx.2
Destination Port: 80
Protocol: All
Desired Rule 2:
Source: Any
Interface: All
WAN IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.195
Source Port: 80
Destination IP: xx.xx.xx.6
Destination Port: 80
Protocol: All
Is the issue because there isn't a WAN IP set on the existing record meaning it's applied to all IP Alias rather than just the interface IP of .194?
Many thanks

If there is no WAN IP specified, it will apply to all of them.
If you cannot specify it, have you checked if this WAN Alias working? Effective?
Pick up the specific port that shares the Alias on Interface, will it work?

Hi @Clive_A
Have had more opportunity to test this further.
So HTTP and HTTPS ports which were currently not set to a specific alias are now working on a specific alias (.195) as expected and do not show up on the other aliases confirming that it's working as expected in that respect. Omada still will not however allow for us to assign 80 and 443 to a different server using another alias (.196), still shows the same error that they are allocated on the interface already.
Many thanks

The dev can provide a beta to address this. Let me know what you think.

@Clive_A I installed this Beta firmware to my ER8411:
Hardware Version:
ER8411 v1.0
Firmware Version:
1.1.1 Build 20231030 Rel.66520
The feature I've been awaiting is the WAN Alias (multihomed IP on WAN ports). I was able to add a secondary IP, however when I went to the Transmission > NAT > Virtual Servers to configure a secondary web server behind the firewall listening to the WAN Alias IP, I received an error message saying the port was already configured for another service. Am I doing something wrong here? I would assume this is how I would configure a secondary web server to listen on a specific WAN Alias IP...?

Do you have something similar to the #45? If so, this has been submitted to the dev, and plan to change this on V5.15.

@Clive_A Yes it does appear to be the same issue as post #45. Any idea when we can give V5.15 a try?
