Hi,

Issue: When I use "Connection 2" at Phone or Laptop and try to play games, I got constantly disconnected and back to login screen. When i use Connection 1 direct to 1 ISP it works fine. I believe the game identifies packages with distinct origin IPs (ISP1 and ISP 2), for same account and disconnect the account. Because it could be malicious, use or  dual accounting.

I would like to know, if its possible to do a configuration at Load Balancer, like this:

1st Question: If both Wan are online, use the same ISP for every request that has same Target IP? So packets sent to game server will always have same origin.

Really appreciate any guidance.

PS: I believe, if i remove the load balancing and put ISP 2 to be a Link Backup it should work. But i will lose the benefits of load balancing for my entire network. So, I would like to avoid that approach. 

This is my network diagram.

Hi @ricardoff5 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

Use Policy Routing to route a LAN device to a specific WAN. This can avoid what you experience in the game now. How to Set Up Policy Routing

Link backup way can also work well but your understanding is correct. PBR would be the option here.
