/tool fetch via specific interface?
On my router I have two WANs (first is the default one, and the second will take over when first one is dead), and I need to do fetch of a given URL from the IP of second WAN port. The problem is, the IP of server I will fetch url from can change (CDN, actually) so I can't just route/mangle traffic to it from second WAN statically.
At the same time I found no way to specify outgoing interface forso the scheme fails.
How can I do that trick?

Re: /tool fetch via specific interface?
on script, you can disable interface WAN default, before run fetch and enable it after that. Better with delay.
Re: /tool fetch via specific interface?
I faced same problem, searching for solution.
Re: /tool fetch via specific interface?
I think this can be done by adding a static route to site you like to fetch to the second wan interface.
Re: /tool fetch via specific interface?
sorry for write an old post, but i have a similar problem...
i have a mikrotik 4011 with 2 isp
ether1 to ISP1
ether2 to ISP2
ether2 have a dynamic ip and i want configure with ovh dynhost.
on old pfsense i set simple cronjob
curl --interface igb0 --user "<user>:<mypassword>" "http://www.ovh.com/nic/update?system=dy ... myhostname>"
and worked perfectly
now i change old pfsense with GREAT Mikrotik :)
but how can i replicate that?
in fetch i can't use --interface or similar
so i think to create an address list with domain www.ovh.com
and create a specific route to that address list (my opinion is not clear force a route with actual ip of www.ovh.com because ovh can change your ip)
how can i solve problem?
thank you

Re: /tool fetch via specific interface?
An easy approach is to resolve the address each time it tries to update, add the address to an address list with a timeout and use a prefixed mangle and routing mark to route traffic via the proper interface.
For example :
You can then keep a static set of rules to mangle and route the traffic
If your eth2 gateway changes you need to put an on-lease script in the dhcp-client for eth2 to fix the gateway. Somthing like
You better check if the default variable for the gateway is actually $gateway in the documentation.
edit:
BTW, ping, ssh, telnet (although its broken post 6.45.6 or so) support the routing-table parameter to route traffic.
I've already requested they add it to tool fetch without much success, maybe more people requesting would put it on the road map.
For example :
Code: Select all
local currentIp [:resolve www.ovh.com]
/ip firewall address-list add list=dyndns address=$currentIp timeout=20s
/tool fetch url=XXX
Code: Select all
/ip firewall mangle add chain=prerouting protocol=tcp dst-port=80,443 dst-address-list=dyndns action=mark-routing new-routing-mark=via_wan2
/ip route add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=x.x.x.x routing-mark=via_wan2
Code: Select all
script="/ip route set gateway=$gateway [find routing-mark=\"via_wan2\""edit:
