    After contacting my ISP they revealed that the subnet had been changed on my block of IP addresses to a 25 bit subnet so the problem has been solved by using 24.158.60/25. Thanks guys.

    I am working on a similar implementation. I am wondering if pfSense suffers from the same issue as Monowall does listed in the linked documents. Note: Remember you cannot access hosts on a bridged interface from a NAT'ed interface, so if you do have a LAN interface set up, you won't be able to access the hosts on the bridged interface from the LAN. http://doc.m0n0.ch/handbook/examples-filtered-bridge.html http://doc.m0n0.ch/handbook/faq-bridge.html If I am reading this right does this mean that if I have my DNS servers on either the briged or natted/private side of the network that they will be unable to talk back and forth?? Your input is apperciated. zktech

    cmb, thank you for the reply and I understand what you are saying. The whole reason for this project is to get around bandwidth throttling at my apartment complex. But it looks like I am out of luck. Thanks guys.

    That's completely different. That's a question for the OpenVPN board here, not routing. I think you need to push the appropriate routes to your clients. See the OpenVPN page on doc.pfsense.org, I think it has the info you need. http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Setting_up_OpenVPN_with_pfSense

    well, you can guess why i chose to take a closer look at pfsense twice, but you'll only gonna need one! I tried one of those "loadbalancing soho routers" from Allnet - not my best choice yet, not to say ugly things about it….. Then I tried Netgear (about 250 US$), not cheap, but if it works well, why not - ok, not so well, in fact, massive probs with https-sessions broken (used both wan-ports for single onlinebanking session - not so good then...) and sometimes DNS-Querys just got lost, so no answer to browser, except "server not found". My next choice would have been a small, tiny Cisco Loadbalancer, not exactly the price of a new car - even a japanese one (by the way, i own a Honda Civic! - so no hard feelings - ok?)- but a nice Homecinema Flatscreen TV would fit much better in the plans of the wife than this "little gray box". So I have to investigate open source software if anything there could be my salvation. And now it looks like I've found, what I'm looking for (unlike Bono). So I consider this "Bounty" thing for adjustable round robin Load Balancing. Perhaps, if there are some others, we could join for a bounty and make the developers or advanced users help us on this one? I don't know how much work it would be, but I would not wonder if it could be resolved quite fast (and cheap ;) )

    If you want to send all your traffic from 192.168.x.125 to opt1 then setup a firewall rule with interface: LAN, source ip  192.168.x.125 and gateway opt1. This is known as policy based routing. The next step is to get all your torrent stuff allowed in. That would require rules on the OPT1 interface.  Take a look at the NAT section of this forum for help on that.

    Well i found a work around by inspecting the javascript code. Select the pool type to Server. Put the value of the interface (e.g. wan or opt1) in the "Server IP Address" text box. Now change the type to Gateway and create the pool. The javascript remembers the name you typed in the Server IP address text (even though it is not visible anymore)

    I think I answered this myself, it only made a difference when I set the interface to Public, which is what I figured. And then, I had to set the rule allowing DNS traffic to use "default" rather than anything else. Thanks, this helped out loads!

    Remove the gateway(s) on the T1 rules tab  and try again.

    I think you want to add a firewall rule on the lan tab. Something like:tcp from lan net any port dest=3rd party server IP port any gateway=int a gateway Oh, and I think you should've posted in the Dual-WAN forum…
