Create a loadbalancer-
Name: "LBW1W2"
Type: Gateway
Behaviour: Load Balancer
Monitor IP (other) 8.8.8.8, Interface Name: WAN. Click add to pool
Monitor IP (other) 8.8.4.4, Interface Name: WAN2. Click add to pool

Now you should have a load balancer called LBW1W2 which pings Google's DNS servers to test connectivity.

Check it is working by looking at Status -> Load Balancer. It should have two green entries.

Firewall -> Rules, LAN interface. Create a rule similar to this:

From 192.168.1.0/24 to any port 80 and select the name of the new balancer from the Gateway drop down list.

Make sure that the rule is not "shadowed" by another rule above it that grants similar access but with a different gateway.

Once you have got a basic setup working, then you can do things like create an alias list of ports to pass through the load balancer/failover links.

I recommend not putting https or ssh over a load balancer. Use a failover instead for this sort of protocol.

not work

The new rule you just made in the firewall, must be placed ABOVE the rule that already exists there. (The Allow Default rule).
Otherwise, the default rule will intercept everything before it reaches the new rule.

How about like this try this

LoadBalancer Alias: LB
Behaviour: LoadBalancing
Monitor:ICMP

Monitor IP: WAN1 router IP address(Not your pfsense wan address,but the router by the ISP)
Interface Name: WAN1
ADD TO POOL

Monitor IP: WAN2 router IP address(Not your pfsense OPT address,but the router by the ISP)
Interface Name: WAN1
ADD TO POOL

Be sure no squid package is installed cause squid does not support on Multi-WAN on this version. you have to separate it.

the 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8 will work maybe you should put a static route which interfaces will be used to go in 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8 :)
