    Is there a method to bind outbound flows to a give site/IP to a particular multi-wan channel?

    Otherwise web sites that track IP in sessions cookies will constant expire connections.

      System > Advanced, Misc tab, check "Use sticky connections".

        I was told a few months ago that sticky connections didn't work yet.  Has that changed?

            Thanks. I'm wondering if it should be on by default.

              Do the sticky connections work at you?

                Once I found the option, outbound sticky connections did start to work.

                  Here it did work if i'm fast enough with browsing.  If i don't do about 10 seconds anything on the website, it didn't work at all.  Eg typing in username/password for eg a forum was quite difficult :)

                    Sounds like it is not working or not turned on.  That is a classic example of source IP flipping causing the auth cookie for a forum to reset.

                      I've set it on, but it could be that it isn't working.
                      For a forum or a directadmin session, that's quite allright.  But not for my homebanking.  But i did the work-around (see my topic) and well…we'll see if that does the job :)
