      hi,
      i am new to pf-sense & got problem with 2 WAN + 1 LAN pfsense setup. the interface are as follows
      WAN–-PPPOE Connection
      OPT1---DHCP Connection
      LAN---Static(192.168.1.1)
      the problem is that the  WAN(PPPOE) interface is shown disable and the internet is accessed through OPT1 Interface which i have to keep as backup connection. however when i ping through Diagnostics>>Ping i get reply from both Interfaces(WAN & OPT1)
      plz anyone tell me who to enable the WAN interface under above mention conditions.

                  check the monitor IP of the gateway you are using for WAN interface. Or disable monitor IP for GW on WAN.
