    @barbosa.rodolfo: I don't think so. I had never heard about policy routing before. What is policy routing Policy routing in pfSense refers to the capability of routing traffic by matching it to specific firewall rules. Each firewall rule allows selection of a gateway. If none is selected, traffic goes out the default gatway or follows the routing table. If additional WAN interfaces (OPT WAN) or gateway groups are defined, these may be selected in the Gateway field when adding or editing rules to direct matching traffic as desired. This is primary used for multi-WAN, though it has other uses as well. https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/What_is_policy_routing https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Bypassing_Policy_Routing

    @Derelict: Create another phase2 entry at both ends for the 172.16.5.0/24<->192.168.1.0/24 connectivity. Perfect, that fixed it. Thank-you!

    I removed the NIC from the pfSense virtual machine in VMWare, put it back, and then it started working properly. It even picked up the same MAC when I put it back. Who knows… Thanks for your help

    @cmb: Sounds like what would happen if you're maxing out your upload bandwidth on that connection, or if that connection has issues in general. Is it that high with the connection idle? It's idle. No further traffic goes over WAN2 when WAN1 is down. It's not a failover. Only UDP source port 27005 and some game client UDP destination ports are permanently sent through WAN2. The increased latency is always 500 or 999 ms + the actual route latency to be exact. Even when WAN1 is up and I'm playing a game, the game is going through WAN2. During this time the WAN2 latency is normal. If WAN1 fails, the latency goes up shortly. A related problem as mentioned in the linked thread is when WAN2 is down, the above rules don't fall back to WAN1.

    Aaaaand nevermind. This was a case of too many cooks. Someone who shall remain nameless had changed DNS from all interfaces and made it on just the required interfaces. They added opt7, get this, yesterday. If I posted two days ago, I would've seen opt7 not selected on that list.

    My test systems are on pfSense 2.2-BETA now, so I did: > pkg install whois That got me a program called "mwhois" - just like way back here in 2009: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=14093.msg74950#msg74950 Then I can do: mwhois -h whois.radb.net -- '-i origin AS32934' | awk '/^route:/ {print $2;}' | sort | uniq > /tmp/facebook.txt and I get a nice list of IPv4 subnets in the file. I guess you can install the pfSense Cron GUI package and use that to add this command as a regular Cron job to keep the list as up-to-date as you wish. I don't expect that "mwhois" will cause any nasty side-effects on a pfSense - but of course there is no warranty when you manually install extra FreeBSD packages.

    Hi, There's unfortunately no overlap. My DNS servers are: 208.67.222.222 - WAN1 208.67.220.220 - WAN2 208.67.222.222 - WAN3 208.67.220.220 - WAN4 I'm testing on WAN 3, which has these settings: Monitor IP: 95.174.20.211 (not used anywhere else) Latency Low: 20ms Latency High: 21ms Packet Loss Low: 1 Packet Loss High: 2 Interval: 1 Second Down: 3 Seconds By any stretch of the imagination, this link should fail, but it stays up with sometimes over 500ms of latency.

    @Derelict: You'll have to look through ifconfig -a ,  /var/log/dmesg.boot , etc and see why it's not available for selection. You're awesome, Derelict. I will delve into that when I can next get my butt back near the machine.

    The second SSID is on a bridge interface on DD-WRT with the IP of 10.0.0.11, pfSense has virtual interface with the IP address of 10.0.0.1, and an uplink gateway of 192.168.10.1. 192.168.10.1 is the wired LAN router that leads out to the internet. A route needs to be made for the guest wifi subnet 10.0.0.0 to go over the gateway of 192.168.11.1 right? You should not need to add any routes. When a client connects to guest WiFi SSID, it should be getting DHCP from pfSense only (DDWRT and WiFiAP should have DHCP off), and be given gateway 10.0.0.1 (pfSense). The pfSense virtual interface must have rules to allow traffic from its own subnet to the internet. Then the client packets will be allowed into pfSense and pfSense will route then upstream out WAN.

    It can be done, with 1:1 NAT for the subnet, OpenVPN with assigned interfaces and the right set of rules. You will need to build a static key OpenVPN tunnel between the sites, assign the interfaces on both ends, and make sure to only have firewall rules on the assigned OpenVPN tab. If you happen to be a gold subscriber that is one of the topics I talked about in the "Advanced OpenVPN Concepts" hangout back in September.

    Are you using Firefox? If so, there were changes in a recent Firefox release that messed up the way it processes old certificates that you had made exceptions for (like the first time you go to pfSense webGUI.
