        I responsed you on my post.

        Wich trigger level have you choose?

        I had the same problem before because I choosed "Packet loss or high latency", and when I looked, I saw that one had more latency ever than the other. I don't know if I explain it very well. I choose "packet loss" for safety. Be sure to put in firewall >> Rules >> LAN the advanced setting "GATEWAY GROUP GATEWAYS NAME" on LAN net rule.

        I hope that helped you.

        EDIT: And, try the connection in a router for make sure that this wan really works, I have 2 routers to test wan in this cases.

            I'm asking a lot of similar questions - so welcome to the club!

            The best answer to this question of failover from a dedicated link to a VPN connection comes from http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,53811.0.html where you add the IPSec connection as an interface.

            I still haven't tried this yet but when I do I will write a post a guide.

              But... if i user "remote subnet" pfsense use always this route and dont make failover...

                Is are your Internet access rules under the LAN configured under Advanced with a specification of your failover group as its gateway?
