    Hi All, I have a fairly similar PF configuration, 2 x WAN and 1 LAN (Opt2 spare). I have so far not successfully been able to configure PF to route to WAN1 and WAN2. I have 2 Static IP's accounts for DSL, 2 Routers configured to Authenticate and both are active and data passing at each router. I can swap the routers to the WAN1 NIC and change the gateway IP and the default gateway works fine. But I have been unable to successfully set the NAT and Rules so that depending on the originating IP of a LAN PC to route to the nominated gateway. I can ping the WAN2 IP from a Lan PC, but not the Router IP or the Static IP on that account, while WAN1 works perfectly. Obviously I have a setting issue somewhere with either or both NAT, Firewall rules. I have tried following the info regarding Dual WANS, but I have had no success at this stage. I have no intention of LoadBalancing the DSL accounts, but both active all the time. Ultimately I would like to set up a Policy to route individual IP addresses/range to either WAN1 or WAN2, depending on how much traffic and downloads each individual uses. (1 DSL has small Download limit and the other has High Download limit, both 1.5/256, best we can get and it took 3.5 years to get this). But I am not sure which is the most successfuly way to configure this option. Are there any plans at some point to work into PF or a download with particular configuration templates as a base to setup PF, as this would most likely save much time trying to troubleshoot many different configuration types. Thanks for your assistance.

    You need the following routes: at Router A: Interface LAN; subnet 192.168.4.0/24; Gateway 192.168.3.1 Interface LAN; subnet 192.168.2.0/24; Gateway 192.168.3.1 Router pfSense: Interface LAN; subnet 192.168.4.0/24; Gateway 192.168.1.1 Interface LAN; subnet 192.168.2.0/24; Gateway 192.168.1.1 Router B doesn't need any routes as the default GW of this one is Router A btw, why is there a GW at your OPT1 at Router B? You only need this if this is an additional WAN and besides that the gateway isn't in the range of the OPT1-subnet. This doesn't make sense. Delete the gateway there  ;D

    by the way, i forgot to mention that this is not a office network, but 500 apartments and groving, that are sharing the same internet connection, together with cheap telephone, and cheap tv here in denmark when we began to make this network, be did a lot of thinking about the structure before we implemented it, and i think today, we are happy with our subnetting, cause we get bigger and bigger with more apartments all the time, so its nice to have done things the right way from scratch. anyway thanks for the replyes sincerely Carsten www.sundbynet.dk

    Here is how I would do it: settings at your pfsense: make rl0 WAN with static config using the LAN IP of your DSL router as gateway make ral0 LAN enable DHCP Server at LAN and configure it correctly enable "advanced outbound nat" at firewall>nat>outbound and delete all rules after you enabled and saved (this way you are routing and don'T NAT any more) create a rule at WAN to allow access from your dslrouters LAN-subnet if you want to shut down access for the wifi hosts of your pfsense to your dsl-routers LAN subnet add a rule to block access from source any to destination dsl-routers lansubnet at the lan tab of the pfsense. place this rule above the "default lan to any" rule. settings at the dsl-router: add a static route for the wifi subnet of the pfsense with gateway wan ip of your pfsense
