      If your problem was like mine when I first tried multi-wan on 2.0, you'll need to disable sticky connections in the advanced settings.

        Thanks for suggestion, but un-checking in System Administrator as sticky for Load Balance did not solve problem. I'm still able to use to 2 WAN if I have Gateway Group for my LAN firewall rule.

        Here is how it setup for Gateway Group:
        Group Name Gateways Priority Description
        LoadBalance1 WAN2      Tier 1
                                WAN        Tier 1

        Firewall Rule: LAN

        Action: Pass
        Interface: LAN
        Protocal: Any
        Source/Type: LAN Subnet
        Destination: check not
        Gateway: LoadBalance1

        Any other suggestions would be great!

            How do you setup Load Balance with 2 WAN in 2.0 without using PBR?

                Hi!

                It seems you have the correct settings….
                Maybe you can check some status pages like: Status -> Gateways
                The first tab will show the gateways 'solo' and the second will show the status of the gateway group. Mine are like so:

                Can you ping a direct IP address on the internet instead of a hostname? Maybe it's a DNS problem?
                Does your Systemlog -> Firewall show 'blocked packets'?

                Good luck!

                        Having similar problems. All traffic originating from lan subnet to port 80 tcp (=all http traffic) should go to one gw group but instead its not. If instead of the group use any of the wan gateway it works. 31.3 snapshot

                          Thanks for all your suggestions. I decide to go back to v1.2.3 until 2.0 is out of beta. Load Balancing works  with v1.2.3 and easy to setup.

                            It is strange. From March 26 snapshot on PBR works perfectly for me. I can even use several gateway groups for HTTP traffics, depends on the destination.

                              Yes, I can confirm it working for me as well. It's the main reason I'm using pfSense instead of my home brew linux firewall where I only switch WANs on a host bases instead of protocol and time etc…
