Is pfSense team working on the failover issue?
-
Hi,
I was just wondering if the pfSense team is aware of the failover problem with their firewall, which many users are complaining about. As many have already experimented, pfsense doesn't switch to the default gateway when it gets back to work. I hope that they are already working on it.
Thanks -

Thanks, but a bit hard to find out among all those articles if they are already working on this issues.

What exactly is "the failover problem" in your case? That is extremely vague.
Failover works fine for most people, but there are always edge/corner cases that don't work as well as others.
There are several issues potentially related to failover scenarios that we've fixed in 23.01: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/23-01.html

I read on this very forum, and elsewhere as well that many users have the same problem, that is, it doesn't switch back to the main WAN when it gets back to work again and is available. Of course, it is not always the case, but unfortunately I was one of those who strumble upon it. As you said, there are always edge/corner cases that don't work as well as others.
For the time being, I run pfSense in a virtual environment , and as a test, I also installed and run OPNsense in the same scenario, then I set failover up on it and it worked smoothly. Anyway, I want to continue using pfsense since I like it most, but this issue can be a drawback.
Thanks
