    Yeah, the wiki is appropriate. We now generate outbound NAT automatically for all interfaces that have a gateway set. If you don't need advanced outbound nat for some special application you simply can skip this step. All you then need is a pool and appropriate firewallrules to utilize loadbalancing and/or policybased routing. I suggest first transferring your m0n0 install 1:1 to the pfSense setup without pool and loadbalancing. Make sure your pfSense setup works the way m0n0 did after that. Then add your OPT-WAN. Create the pool. If a a pool is not referenced by a rule it won't be used. Check status>loadbalancer if all gateways go online. Then create a rule at LAN with source a single IP of a testclient and destination any at the top of your LAN rules. Use the pool as gateway for this rule. Now you can test with that client if your setup works whereas all other clients/servers will still use a non loadbalanced setup. If you are satisfied with the way it works modify your rules at LAN so other machines make use of loadbalancing too.

    I have added 2 types of aliases for this at my dualwansetup. One portsalias and one hostsalias where I can add portnumbers or IP-Adresses that don't work well with loadbalancing. If I detect another external IP that doesn't work well with it I just add it to the hostslaias. https is added to the portsalias. Both aliases are referenced by a firewallrule as destination to go out to my faster WAN.

    Thanks  :)
    I thought , "Multi-wan is not supported", this mean necessity to select interface through ping

    But pfsense ping IP OPT1 default router - this address isn't localy IP and is inaccessible through WAN interface …
    And "monitored IP" - monitored (ping?) by pfsense, not through... ???

    You can bridge the aireless card in AP mode to the wired LAN. For the wireless card  in infrastructure mode you have to use a seperate subnet (just don't bridge the interface and use a different subnetspace). pfSense will route between all directly connected subnets  automatically. You only have to set pass rules at the interfaces to allow traffic between them.

    pfSense creates NAT for you out of the box (adds NAT to every interface with a gateway by default). You simply have to follow http://wiki.pfsense.com/wikka.php?wakka=OutgoingLoadBalancing

    Btw, loadbalancing has been covered in detail for different scenarios already. Please search first.

    @acarli:

    If I configure the modems in router mode, they should monitor the line and reconnect automatically?
      (I am using 2 ADSL Thomson/Alcatel SpeedTouch 510)

    Lol - In my happy days I rewote parts of theire firmware (the 510V3).
    For saying : yes, they do. They don't need any help to do so.

    Switch your WAN2 firewallrule to gateway default (you have WAN2 there). You only use dedicated gateway/loadbalancerpools in rules for outgoing traffic.

    I added #3 to the ticket, but I'll post here just so others see it in conjunction with the first two:

    When "Enable Dynamic Gateway" is selected, the olsr.conf file that is generated tries to load the secure plugin.  If no security key exists (ie. the file is empty), olsrd fails to start.

    Add pass rules above your default any to loadbalancer rule:

    pass, proto any, source any, destination WAN subnet, gateway WAN-gateway
    pass, proto any, source any, destination OPT-WAN subnet, gateway OPT-WAN-gateway

    You have to exclude these subnets from loadbalancing.

    Ok, got some more info for you….

    If I set the rules to source = lan2 subnet to gateway wan2 AND I set the DNS servers under the DHCP server tab (which btw are the same that are in system general... so really it shouldn't matter)
    I am able to browse the internet.  I am not however able to access the pfsense box still (or ping it).  But obviously it can pull from the box since it is processing the DHCP requests. !?!?!

    I'm banging my head here cause I know I had it working before.  Anyone else with a successfull dual wan want to share their setup?  Like I said I know I'm missing somthing simple, just can't seem to get it.

    The pfSense blocks everything by default at WAN, so it won't reply on a tracert. Add an ICMP allow at your WAN interface.
