If you dont try, you wont find out. There is no need for Gateway IP in mangling rules.
I never said in mangling rules -- I said in routes, and your example shows it as well (unless it is optional).

The imported certificate's Days Valid field is displaying wrong value -- it is showing 6090 days for a certificate which has 36524 days validity (100 years).

Re: Not all RDP traffic seems to be marked in firewall mangle

You've answered yourself. Fasttracking means bypass of all firewall rules, fasttracked packets only pass through the connection-tracking part of the firewall.
Is there a way to still mark / count this traffic or is the only way for proper bandwidth management to have fasttracking disabled?
