"Disable gateway monitoring action" NOT working
-
I am using PfSense version 2.6.0-RELEASE.
If I select "disable gateway monitoring action" it will still take down the interface when it detects packet loss.
I am using a weak internet connection, I want to be able to view ping and packet loss but consider it as always up.
What can I try to fix this? -
Nobody has some tip I can try??

Can you include screenshots of the WAN gateway config and the routing page? Feel free to redact the public IPs if you wish

Sorry for the delay, I upload the requested screenshots.
The one that has packet loss is the PPPOE one. I had to disable gateway monitoring because it will always mark the gateway down even if "disable gateway monitoring action" is enabled.

I posted the images above :) -
I have already started migrating to OPNsense. But I still would like to know what was the problem here if anyone can help.

@franciz You have to monitor an IP address with dual-WAN to make sure the interface is up. Taking it offline from monitoring will treat it as though it is always up and the "member down" setting is made redundant.
I recommend boning up on the documentation specifically the multi-wan configuration and failover/loadbalancing section.

I do have IP addresses setted as you can check in the first 3 images.

That is the configuration I am using now but only because the "disable gateway monitoring action" is not working.
I read all the documentation about multiple wans. But still, the "disable gateway monitoring action" checkmark should be self evident. If you mark that option it should never take any action when monitoring and should never set the interface down. But it does...
