      So, I just installed pfSense with 3 comcast lines. Everything is working except the sticky connections. There are several websites we use for payments and stuff that keep kicking the computers off.

      I have tried enabling sticky connection but that doesnt seem to do the trick.

      Does anyone have some ideas as how to fix this?
      Thanks

        If you idle on a site sticky can give problems. So i wouldn't use it

        I guess your trying to loadbalancing. As a alternative to that you can do something like this.

          Sticky connections do not work well for outbound load balancing. Also outbound load balancing doesn't play nicely with SSL.  You'll do better to create a failover pool and policy route all your SSL connections through the failover pool (ie: all SSL connections go out WAN 1 unless WAN 1 fails, then all SSL goes out WAN 2).
