yeah ill definitely have to stop by one day and check out the set-up. This weekend I was messing around with pfsense though and I ran into a problem. I put a second wireless card in my pfsense box and was going to try to connect it to another network, but when I set it up as optional 1 it didn't give me the option for wireless. Do you know how I would set it up for wireless? I am already on one connection and I am getting about 20 mbps. I ran a speed test on mine over the weekend and was getting 30mbps. Anyways, I torrent alot which is why I am trying to get it set-up with a few different wireless connections so that I can do it faster, but I dont want to completely make their internet useless which is why I was  trying to throttle it. Let me know what you think about the situation.

Are you a commercial customer of Comcast with statically assigned ip's? if not- Change the mac address on one of your WAN interfaces and see if that will assign you a new IP and gateway. I haven't used a setup like yours but Ive played with different gateways from my cable company that way before they got things balanced… If your a commercial customer call them and request it.

Could you draw a diagramm of which IP-range is where?

Create a rule on the LAN tab. This rule should be on top of all other rules so it gets processed first. Set as source IP your client. Set as gateway the WAN you want to use. From now on this client should always go over the specifies WAN. You could refine the rule and limit it to be used only for specific ports.

Thanks got it working with the one lan. I am now trying to load balance. I have two wans coming in my pfsense, one is through ethernet and the other is wireless. I want to be able to tell it to only use a certain amount of each connection. For example on of my connections speed tests at 20,000 kbps and I only want to use 10,000 kbps. Can anyone help?

Ok, thanks. Do you think that next relase will implement this feature?

Load Balancing and Traffic Shapping can't running on same box because now the traffic shapping can't perform with Multi Wans.

Apologies for the grammar, rusty english, and too much coffee. Setup diagram http://screencast.com/t/sjw5cQvfL Yes, I'm trying to give OPT1 all to the pbx inside the lan. When I configure OPT1 in pfsense like DHCP, Bridge with NONE; the PBX can't reach the internet. When I configure OPT1 in pfsense like DCHP, Bridge with LAN; the PBX can reach the internet. The problem is I can't reach the PBX from the outside. I need to be able to reach it so phones and trunks, register to it. I created rules at Firewall/NAT saying from OPT1, port 4569, pass to 192.168.1.54 (and several other) If you think I'm taking the wrong path and know a simpler trick/setup, I'm all open to suggestions :) thanks for taking the time to reply.  8) looking forward to this.

Yeah this is extremely badass if it works. I like that it won't reset on reboot. Hopefully I'll get a chance to look into this. Others feedback is appreciated.

Hi, thanks for the answer. However, from what I understand, oubound load-balancing will not work if the WAN interface uses PPPoE directly? I've tried on 1.2 and I'm unable to add a PPPoE link to the pool. Unless this is fixed in 1.3? Thanks and best regards, Jonathan

But now I've added WAN3 in the form of a cheesy Verizon dynamic PPPoE DSL line. It won't do 'transparent PPPoE bridging', so out of frustration I just let it NAT and hoped the double NAT doesn't get in the way. (FYI, I do have a 'pppoe bridge mode' capable modem coming that should make WAN3 work as a public DHCP IP, but that's days away at best). I use the DMZ function on my modem with out any problems. The way i would start troubleshooting is to make sure it has nothing to do with current setup. boot from livecd. assign nics, change the gateway on default lan rule to wan3 and nothing else at all. http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,7001.0.html

it does round robin load balancing and/or failover, so yeah but if both of your dsl's are from the same compay they'd prob both go down at the same time even w/ diff dsl isp's they often go back through the same telco's equipment.  I'd get one cable and one dsl for better assurance that at least one will always be available nobody is going to hold your hand tho in setting it up, theres good doc out there, find the multi wan HOW-TO v. 1.2 doc and follow it step by step

System Advanced [v] Enable Filtering Bridge OPT2 configuration enable [v] static bridge with: LAN rules on OPT2 *  OPT2 net  *  *  *  * *  LAN net  *  OPT2 net  *  * interesting (for me) was last line - plain Linux/Windows desktop works fine without it, but my server not, DNS server was not available for LAN and other connectivity problems … may be someone of senior comrades can comment it and my configuration also thanks to all! ieleja

Right now: no. Search the forum since there are some hacks and howto's around on how to circumvent the problem of the same gateway.

Can you show a screenshot from your LAN rules? If you want to access an interface directly you have to create a rule that doesnt force the traffic to the loadbalancer (since you seem to use 2 WAN's).

If your ISP supports MP (multilink PPP) I think you can just bond the connections to act as a single wan in pfsense. This can be achieved using userland ppp or mpd 5. I'm in the middle of trying to implement this and may be confused tho, will let you know.
