      dear pfsense

      after setup pfsense for loadbalance, i find something wrong ??

      ISP A, downstream 384 kbps, upstream 64 kbps
      ISP B, downstream 2 Mbps, upstream 2 Mbps

      but after setup, why connection speed loadbalancing only 384 kbps ?? i'm using www.speedtest.net, after refress many times and change IP, but speed only 384 kbps.

      can you help me ??

        The loadbalancing is connectionbased and doesnt actually sum the bandwidth of your two lines.
        Are you sure you've set up the loadbalancer correctly?
        At least some of the time you should get 2mbit down.

        We do what we must, because we can.

          i'm sure with my setup loadbalancing and failover is right. By my test, unplug the WAN 1 there is no stop connection in the LAN, and everything is running well. When WAN 1 and WAN 2 is online, i can see the speed increasing (in my download manager) is sum of two WAN for international connection, but for local connection between local ISP is going down??

          regards
