Resolved Pfsense 2.0 RC1 LoadBalacing, But Non Default Gateway Failover Working?

[Nachtfalke]

Your firewall rule seems to be wrong for my understanding.
Why did you enter port 8080 as destination ?
This means, that this rule only works for destination addresses with port 8080. Normal http (80) or https (443) will not be applied to this rule.

Further I think you totally misunderstood LoadBalancing (or I did with your question).

LoadBalancing does NOT mean, that you have double speed. It does NOT double DSL1 (2MBit/s) and DSL2 (5MBit/s) to one line with 7MBit/s. It will just help you to load the balance over these two lines. If you start two downloads, one will downloading over DSL1 with 2MBit/s and the othr will downloading over DSL2 with 5Mbit/s.

You could test if your loadbalancing is working while surfing to this page and refresh this page several times after another
http://www.pfsense.org/ip.php
Then you will see, that your IP changes (DSL1 <-> DSL2). But before this will work you have to correct your firewall rule (destination port to any).

Another good site to test ist maps.google.com and zoom in and out. Than you can see that bothe lines will use LoadBalancing.

Your firewall rule seems to be wrong for my understanding.
Why did you enter port 8080 as destination ?

On port 8080 My Squid is listening,So i just route traffic with outbound request for 8080.I think its correct. Further also checked destination to <any>but it doesn't impact of load balancing .
After changing destination port to <any>in firewall rule
when i check the Ip ,it always uses the WAN IP whose Gateway is set to default

http://www.pfsense.org/ip.php
Your IP is 2xx.xxx.xxx.130
Your IP is 2xx.xxx.xxx.130
Your IP is 2xx.xxx.xxx.130
Your IP is 2xx.xxx.xxx.130
Your IP is 2xx.xxx.xxx.130

(Still my Load balancing of traffic is not working ???????)

LoadBalancing does NOT mean, that you have double speed. It does NOT double DSL1 (2MBit/s) and DSL2 (5MBit/s) to one line with 7MBit/s

Yes i was thinking wrong that load balancing double speed of your WAN Links,so its clear know.
Is there any way to double speed of my WAN Links in pfsense ???

Further what i observe,All traffic goes through the Default gateway rather going from Wan1BalanceWan2
I put all load but all traffic passing to interface which is set default.

please guide me whats next???

Do both of your WAN connections are in the same subnet / having the same gateway ?
If you can answer this with "yes", then it doesn't work without a trick.

LoadBalancing at the moment only works, if both WANs have different gateways.

[farrukhndm]

WAN1 Gateway and WAN2 Gatway are different with differnent subnets but ISP is same.its mean DNS are same which makes no differance .

Still No Clue where i am wrong in configuring LoadBalancing.

Why my traffic goes to Default gateways rather than going from Ladbalcing (Group Gateway)???

[farrukhndm]

One thing that i miss to told you i am running Proxy Squid ,And i think squid always route traffic through Default gateway ?????

Here is another Thread that explain how to squid traffic load balancing

http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,33895.0.html

But still i am facing problem with error

Connection to Failed
The system returned:

(49) Can't assign requested address

Please please help me help me ..

To effectively double your speed, you would need to use BGP or something similar. I'm going through the process of setting this up where I work, we have a paired T1 line giving us 3mbps, and a single T1 @ 1.5mbps.

Pfsense has a BGP package, but I couldn't tell you how to set it up, we're relying on our ISP to configure this for us.

Hi,
WanGw(Default)
OptGw()
Please get screen shots of My Pfsense 2.0 RC1 with Squid Load Balacing working , failover Work only when Non Defult GatewaysI(OptGw) in My Routes goes down.
When My Default Gateway(WANGw) goes down.My Internet Stop working ???? Any help.

Squid Still send its traffic to defult gateway ?????? is there any way to Fully working fail over if Default gateway goes down


[eri--]

just choose on squid loopback interface and modify your floating rule to say from 127.0.0.1/8 and not from WAN address without an interface selected.

[farrukhndm]

Browsing Strucked! after change given settings ????
i changed the rule
1)Squid on Loopback interface
2)Floating from 127.0.0.1/8
3)Firewall LAN Enabling Rule as in attached image
4)Firewall LAN Disabling Rule as in attached image


[heper]

also add a floating rule for dns …..

out tcp/udp dest_port 53  GW:loadbalance

[farrukhndm]

Don't affect,

If i only use  LoopBack interface in Squid ,browsing dosn't work,so i have to use Both LAN+Loopback. Also apply DNs Rule on Floating but no affect.

What i perceive now, No One can done Failover for Default Gateway !!! Am i right .

Where are the Pfsense Developers ??? they have placed feature of Load balancing .Please Guide us in how to achieve Failover +Squid
