      Forum pfsense

      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.

          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)???

              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.

                  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.

                        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

                        regards
