yes i configure gateway monitoring and also DNS in general setup till now doesn't work policy based routing un firewall rules.. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

@dotdash: I haven't tried the feature in years, but it was problematic in the past. If I need to load-balance these days, I just add a rule to send https to a failover group and LB the rest of the traffic. Can't do that. I have a lot of HTTPS over custom port such as 8888, 8890 and many many more on remote client access. it would be impractical to put all the ports over fail over rule Thank you

Problems: (1) Seems PFsense interfaces rely on static route for 10.0.0.0/24 hosts to be able to http webconfigurator (2) 192 hosts can't access the internet or ping from the PFsense interface (3) Can't ssh 192 hosts from 10.0.0.0/24 (4) But 192 hosts can talk to each other (5) From ASA, I can ping PFsense interfaces but none of 192 hosts. (6) Disabled firwall/packet-filtering on PFsense for now to fix route issues.

"I have a block of IPs provided by my ISP, routed directly to me. " So this block is routed to you over what transit network??  Or is more what is common is they gave you say a /29 with 1 of those /29 being your gateway your suppose to point to.. This is completely different than a routed network. If they routed your block to you, then you would have a transit network connection.. So for example lets say they gave you public 4.5.6.0/29, and your pfsense wan IP might be 1.2.3.2/30  You could then yes put that 4.5.6.0/29 behind pfsense and not nat it.  But if all they gave you was 1.2.3.0/29 and told you to point to 1.2.3.1 as your gateway.. That is not a routed network.. You just have /29 hanging off their network.  And sure you could use .2 - .6 as other VIPs on pfsense wan.. Placing those IPs behind pfsense would require subnet of that network or bridge..

Same problem here (OpenVPN not switching back from backup to main connection) - so perhaps I can push up the topic? regards Luggi

Ok thanks

Hello, Could you please add Multipath TCP (MPTCP) feature on 2.4.0 version? Link : https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/4632

"request come from the .40.x side." So your source natting as well?  Putting a host in both your dmz and your lan via multihoming pretty much defeats the whole purpose of a "dmz"

@DJBenson: Am I right in assuming if I use a port alias containing 25,465 and 587 and assign that to the rule you suggested, any other traffic originating from the mail server will still load balance (i.e. normal HTTP/S traffic)? Yes, set the destination for smtp, etc and the other traffic will progress to the default rule. You may want to put https on a failover group (not load balanced) to avoid the problems you saw with banking sites, etc.

Hi Jim, Regarding all the tests my colleague has made and his results, do you think it could be a bug ? Thank you :-)

What dok said ;) That is not how you would set it up.. If you want 192.168.1/24 to be your internal network - then it would go behind pfsense..  Just like your wifi network..  You can have another firewall between pfsense and the internet if you want.. kind of pointless..  But you end up with like the attached.  Now you can firewall or talk between your segments all you want.  You can run a captive portal on the wifi segment, etc. You don't put devices on a transit network between 2 routers.  If you do then they have put routes on them to tell them which router to use for which network.  If your pfsense is natting now you also have to port forward to allow traffic from your transit into your downstream network.  Your prob going to have asymmetrical issues because you miss a route on 1 of your hosts in your transit.. If you want to use pfsense as a downstream router/firewall and have a segment hang off the upstream router then you would connect them with a transit, but now your going to have to create routing on your upstream router.. See 2nd pic.. I wouldn't be natting at psfense in this case.  Your upstream router would do the natting for any networks behind it.  So there is more config on upstream router in this setup. [image: transitnetwork.png_thumb] [image: typicalsetup.png] [image: typicalsetup.png_thumb] [image: transitnetwork.png]

Help you with why asymmetrical causes issues in applications?  Yeah its going  to be hit and miss - its a borked config, there is little use trying to make it work.

Cool, there is actually a HOWTO for this! The "Configure a new Interface" part I had right but I didn't know about the "Configure NAT" part. The information in it is a bit outdated, I selected Hybrid instead and now it's working!  

Sorry, did a bit more research and found this thread: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=37451.0 Fixed it with increase the threshold values.

Thanks guys, I got the solution.

Your design is broken. Put "Plex Devices" on another interface so your routers can route properly or maintain all the necessary gateways and routes on them.
