Hello,

 

To better utilize the TPLink Omada line of routers to fit within the business models, I'm wanting to be able to funnel traffic, either full or split, to specific locations that are interconnected via GRE, IPSEC, etc.  Currently, each site has its own internet connection, and having that for a business may not be the direction as centralized content delivery/filtering/etc may be desired at a main location.  There is no way to do this currently, so I'm asking for the following to be considered as options...

 

  1. Static Routing - Allow a static route to be defined on the VPN interface vs. only on the LAN/WAN interfaces.  It seems that one should be able to push specific destination traffic across a tunnel if desired even if the subnet doesn't live at that remote location, in turn would send it out its WAN interface.
  2. Allow for OSPF to be able to advertise in the same manner routes to subnets at sites that may not have them and forward that traffic out their WAN interfaces.

 

This provides a couple valuable items for use..

 

  1. Can monitor all traffic destined to the internet from a single site.
  2. Can utilize a centralized proxy for internet traffic.
  3. Can exposed a single business network from only 1 external WAN interface.
  4. Can configure a firewall to further secure if needed the entire multisite network behind a single router.

 

Thank you for the consideration.
