First one isn't possible yet Second one is already in 2.1. You set a Gateway Group as the interface for a DynDNS entry and it updates when the WAN fails over.

That's what happens when the counter loops, it's not actually a drop in traffic at all. It's a 32 bit counter on 32 bit OS so it wraps frequently at decent throughput.

What if you create gateway and put pfsense rules to use that new gateway. I have no lab to test that, but that might work with all vlans

I have the same issue and followed the above recommendations, but I still don't have joy and happiness.  My trace route  ends at the OpenVPN gateway then fails. Checking the firewall rules , OpenVPN  logs I don't see any of the OpenVPN traffic coming in our failing. Any recommendations ? TIA. Really going nuts here!!!

did you get a reply???

@heper: pfsense does not support multiple wans with the same gateway address. There are no plans for the near future to implement this as far as i know. so you only have 3 options if you want to use pfsense: put a cheap router in between ask isp to move one of your lines to a different gateway change isp's thanks for your answer, heper! I already asked the ISP to move the second router to a different gateway… with null results. Sadly, using another provider is not possible due to location availability. I tried setting the second line statically, specifying a different gateway (after lurking a little and some guessing), set a static route to reach that gateway through the interface IP, and it worked fine... until some hours later when guess a vigilant tech noticed that and blocked me from using it :( So... I have two options; using another pfsense box, which will add complexity and wouldn't be as clean as a single box, apart from being less flexible. And another, maybe using some kind of virtual interfaces VLANs "magic" to sort it out?

@gabi: each provider can setup 2 vlans/2 links…..1 vlan with international only(BGP default route)  and 1 for national only(BGP contains national prefixes) how can I tell to pfsense to use national ip classes only on 1gbs link from ISP1 and 100mbs from ISP2?(will make openbgpd this automatically?) how can I make different speed limits for national and international If you get a peer from ISP1 with only national prefixes announced you can set there an incoming filter with higher local preference (default: 100) to route out or you trigger local preference on IPS2 for national routes lower. The incoming route can be triggered also by metric (default 0) so you can set all national prefixes on ISP2 with that. easiest solutions seemd to set a filter like this: match from ISP2_national set {metric 10 localpref 90 } (geek: match from ISP2_national set {metric +10 localpref -10 } As often written BGP is not for handling different speed limits. But if you have different VLANs for each international/national provider you must have up to 4 WAN ports which can be limited individually. Bests Reiner

To have an additional NIC is never a bad idea. As for traffic shaping, I recommend this video. But first you have to check whether your ISP uses the same gateway address for all 5 connections. If your ISP shares the bandwidth across all 5 connections, then I would rather let pfSense do the traffic shaping instead of using routes and multiple connections (as described in the video).

The answer is (in 99% of cases) yes, the provider's router/CPE should take care of MPLS.

Thanks, at least I know now. I'll rely on a script on my Linux box to tell me when it comes up again.

Setup DHCP server and it's working fine now. Thank you for all the help!

That's what I thought I had seen but I wanted to confirm. Thanks

That worked, thank-you so much.
