How to change an Internet connection policy for Download Station?

Changing the Internet connection policy for the built-in Transmission torrent client is now possible starting with KeeneticOS 3.1 in the router's command-line interface.

For further setup, you'll need configured backup connections that provide access to external networks and a configured Transmission torrent client. In our example, this will be a connection with the Wireguard interface.

In the router's command-line interface (CLI), enter the following commands:

1. Check the available connection policies:

(config)> show ip policy

policy, name = Policy2, description = Tunnel:
 mark: ffffd02
 table: 44

route:
 destination: 0.0.0.0/0
 gateway: 0.0.0.0
 interface: Wireguard1
 metric: 0
 proto: boot
 floating: no

route:
 destination: 10.1.30.0/24
 gateway: 0.0.0.0
 interface: Guest
 metric: 0
 proto: boot
 floating: no

route:
 destination: 192.168.11.0/24
 gateway: 0.0.0.0
 interface: Home
 metric: 0
 proto: boot
 floating: no

policy, name = Policy3, description = Modem:
 mark: ffffd03
 table: 45

route:
 destination: 0.0.0.0/0
 gateway: 192.168.8.1
 interface: CdcEthernet0
 metric: 0
 proto: boot
 floating: no

route:
 destination: 10.1.30.0/24
 gateway: 0.0.0.0
 interface: Guest
 metric: 0
 proto: boot
 floating: no

route:
 destination: 192.168.8.0/24
 gateway: 0.0.0.0
 interface: CdcEthernet0
 metric: 0
 proto: boot
 floating: no

route:
 destination: 192.168.11.0/24
 gateway: 0.0.0.0
 interface: Home
 metric: 0
 proto: boot
 floating: no

2. Assign the desired policy. In our example, it is Policy2 named Tunnel, in which a backup connection with the Wireguard1 interface is configured by default:

(config)> torrent policy Policy2
Torrent::Client: Policy Policy2 applied.

3. Save the setting:

(config)> system configuration save
Core::ConfigurationSaver: Saving configuration...

4. Verify that the torrent file is being downloaded via the Wireguard1 interface:

(config)> show interface Wireguard1 stat

rxpackets: 1288057
rx-multicast-packets: 0
rx-broadcast-packets: 0
 rxbytes: 1825402984
 rxerrors: 0
 rxdropped: 106
 txpackets: 362250
tx-multicast-packets: 0
tx-broadcast-packets: 0
 txbytes: 34256576
 txerrors: 0
 txdropped: 1
 timestamp: 110426.869614
 last-overflow: 0.000000
 rxspeed: 59760619
 txspeed: 616058

In the router's web interface, on the System Dashboard page:

transmission-profile-wg-02-en.png

The following line should now exist in the running-config configuration file:

(config)> cat ndm:/running-config

file, name = ndm:/running-config:

torrent
 rpc-port 8090 public
 peer-port 51413
 directory WD:/components/transmission
 policy Policy2

To restore the default settings, execute the following commands:

(config)> no torrent policy
Torrent::Client: Policy cleared.
(config)> system configuration save
Core::ConfigurationSaver: Saving configuration...
