      I currently have a failover group (Wan1 as Tier 1) (Wan2 as Tier 2).

      When Tier 1 is down, tier 2 comes in and I have internet, but its not allowing me to RDP into a remote server unless I have Wan1 interface disabled.
      The other firewall has both my Wan1 and Wan2 IPs whitelisted and allowed for RDP connections.

      What could this be?

        What pfSense version is that? You are RDPing out from behind pfSense with those set?

            Hmm, to be honest I wouldn't even try to troubleshoot it there. Upgrade to current and retest.
            Even if you find a new bug in 21.05 it will not be fixed there.

                  Ok, so you only see issues with the RDP traffic?

                  When WAN1 is down you still have general connectivity via WAN2 from clients behind pfSense?

                  Do you see the RDP traffic arrive at the remote firewall?

                  Do you see states created for it in pfSense?
