      Yes the behaviour is the same for load-balanced gateways. In a load-balance config though it's usually not as bad because you expect to have some connections on both WANs.
      However that does mean that killing the states will always kill connections that didn't need to be.

        I had finally test and see the behavior went a gw goes down.

        With a LoadBalance or FailOver setup, no mater if the gw1 is up and u downloading something in gw1 and gw2 goes down.

        Pfsense will flush states and affect even the session on online gw's.

        There is no way to avoid this right?

        I prefer to know this before going to production, thanks.

            Yes that's the expected behaviour if you have state flushing set.

            That setting comes from a time when there was no alternative in pf. We are now looking at a better solution there, remove the states only for the gateway that went down. There's no ETA on that though.

                      @stephenw10 Configuration "State Killing on Gateway Failure".

                        Nope in 2.7.2 you can choose to kill states only on the gateway that is down:

                              @stephenw10 Can you comment on the functionallity listed here: https://www.netgate.com/blog/netgate-to-enhance-gateway-recovery-in-pfsense-plus-version-24.03 will this be available in a CE release at any point? I have an expensive backup link and states don't reset on failback so I end up needing to take a manual action to reset them on 2.7.2

                              Thanks for your help

                                No plans to add that to CE at this time.
