      Hello guys,

      I'm having a problem when a failover to WAN2 occurs; I have tried some tutorials from here but with no success.
      Whenever I try to access a website, I receive the following error screen message:

      **While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.google.com.br/search?

      The following error was encountered:

      Connection to Failed
      The system returned:

      (65) No route to host
      The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.

      Your cache administrator is admin@localhost.
      Generated Thu, 27 Sep 2012 11:12:21 GMT by localhost (squid/2.7.STABLE9)**

      This is not a DNS problem as I can ping external IPs normally. When on WAN1 it works fine.
      My configuration is pretty simple:

      • Wan1, Wan2 from different ISPs; Gateway group Wan1 tier1, Wan2 tier2;
      • Floating rule for TCP;  WAN1 WAN2 out to gateway failover group
      • On Proxy Server, interface>LAN, Transparent proxy, tcp_outgoing_address 127.0.0.1;

      Any help would be appreciated

              I have now installed squid3, and get the following error message:

              51 network is unreachable

                Check your routes, both versions return routing errors.

                  I have no static routes, these are my gateway and proxy config:

                    Are you using gateway ip to monitor gateway ip? If so, pfsense will only detect offline gateway when it's powered off.

                      Yes , I didn't change monitor IP, what should I use there?

                      Anyway, on Dashboard I can see the gateway is down, not sure this is related to what you said

                        Did you forced a gateway on dns config?

                        Does your dns server works on both links?

                          I don't think I forced it

                          As I said DNS works on backup connection

                            See http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,38882.0.html and make certain you have followed all of the steps.  The floating rule and "tcp_outgoing_address 127.0.0.1" are important pieces of the puzzle which are not immediately obvious.
