    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.

    Add a pass rule on top of your loadbalance rule with default gateway for the dmz subnet. It has to be excluded from loadbalancing.

    You need a second parallel tunnel for this as the traffic you want to send through doesn't match the tunneldefinition you already have. Add 2 identifiers at both ends to be used for this (as the tunnels will run between the same public IPs as endpoints). The second Tunnel should have the definition for 192.168.1.0/24 <-> 10.10.11.0/24.
    Another (maybe in this scenario easier) solution is to change the subnetmask at the one end to 10.10.0.0/16. In both cases you need a static route at the pfSense located in the 10.10.9.0/24 subnet to the gateway to 10.10.11.0/24 subnet.

    It's simple roundrobin of new connections. This way even a single client can utilize the full bandwidth of multiple WANs with multiple connections. You can't use weights for to make the WANs be used 2:1 for example. Different WAN bandwidth is no issue though. I have a loadbalancing setup at the office of 2 WANs, 2 mbit/s SDSL and 6000/640kbit/s ADSL.

    Please post your firewallrules. There must be something missconfigured.
