        You can have loadbalancing and failover setups, just use search. That is no impossible task

            Hi cry haVok !

            I already config different subnets as you advise.

            Subnets for each WAN link and the LAN (172.17.1.0/24 for WAN1, 172.17.2.0/24 for WAN2 and 192.168.1.0/24 for your LAN).

            Pls lead me for next step if you get free time.

            Regards ,

            Kzack

              Can I recommend that you read the fine documentation, easily found from the pfSense home page.

                loadbalancing and failover working well now.
                but the speed is not double as i expected (2MB).

                Although i'm refreshing  Routing and Multi WAN thread every hours, cant see
                any hint about double speed.
                How can i config to get double speed?

                Any help would be greatly appreciated.

                Regards,

                Kzack

                  speedtest.net can give guide a good quess what is your maximum speed.
                  every protocol doesn't support loadbalancing(https), then it's only natural to have one wan connection speeds

                          Frozen_Fire, please ask a separate question so that your problem and kzack's aren't confused.

                              Hey, i made a simple guide for everyone to follow on how to setup multiwan (2x wan 1x LAN).
                              The guide assumes that you have already configured pfsense with both wans.
                              it's so simple and beautiful.
                              Step 1-3 sets up the load balancing.
                              step 4 is about giving specific computers, or ports (services) direct access to only one of the WAN's - in other words, it won't be load balanced.
                              This helps with certain webpages like facebook or very secure webpages.
                              hope it helps
