Hello,

With the information available it’s not entirely clear how you are trying to route things or what the end goal is. So it’s hard to provide an accurate answer. Can you please go into more detail what you are trying to do. What you have tried that hasn’t worked, etc?

It’s important to understand that when asking a question to provide as much information as you can. This allows those trying to help to replicate and try to find a solution.

This sounds like something you could do through IPTables, but the current question is a bit broad to know or provide a specific precise answer. If you can go into greater detail, there may be a solution we can provide.
