      The answer is probably somewhere on this forum; but i am so new to this that I find it hard to search for it..

      My setup:
      Unraid server -> PFsense VM with pcie 4x1gb card passtrough.
      2x WAN -> I am in a rural area so both are 4G boxes, one with a data limit and fast, another without a data limit and slow.
      1x lan -> switch/wifi6 AP

      I configured the dual wan with help of this link

      So I setup 2 gateways:

      • WAN1 - Bouyges (Default) -> 192.168.2.1 -> DMZ enabled
      • WAN2 - SFR -> 192.168.8.1 -> strange router.. not sure of the DMZ is working here

      The strange part is that if i ping the gateways from diagnostic/ping both work perfectly! But if I disable WAN1; WAN2 does not work!

      Any ideas how to solve this?

      Thanks in advance!!

        OK. I am an idiot :-)
        For some reason I had the static ip of WAN2 the same as the gateway :-)

        Seems to work now!
        Sorry for wasting your time!
