      I don't think it's an issue or bug in pfsense 2.1 multi-wans and proxy (squid), but it's seems that there is a mess-configuration in squid  to does not use multi-wan and still sticking using default gateway.

        Bottom line: There is no solution for this issue so far. We have to keep pfSense 2.0.3 until somebody comes with a final solution. Hope the gurus to figure this out.

        Thanks.

          compare /tmp/rules.debug on 2.0.3 where it works and on 2.1 where it doesn't, the answer may lie there. The config would have to be identical for it to be a valid comparison.

            Got it working!!! Using Openvpn as Wan2 with Unofficial Lusca proxy. Should work with squid.

                The simple Question is, How did you achieve this goal?

                      Do not use Lusca. It changes your package repository to look at a server that is not controlled by us, and it is not kept up-to-date. There is no telling what you're actually fetching from them.

                        Hi, jimp!
                        I'm not very familiar with git and code, but I know for sure that squid multi-wan functionality in 2.0.3-RELEASE was provided by one of ermal patches (https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-tools/commit/457052913414f7c2109fed415e66ed912a530ebe#diff-7304e60ae2121cfce1c817e216d6b95cR14, I think).
                        I doubt if the patch applied in 2.1-RELEASE. This could be cause of the problem discussed here.

                          If you switched your package repository over to lusca,  because you were desperate for a solution to this and a bit of an idiot, how would you switch it back?

                          Thanks

                              Unfortunately, Going to the pkg_mgr_settings.php page and saving with out checking the box, doesn't revert back to the pfsnese package repository.

                                To restore or use original repository.
                                you can no longer see lusca updates

                                ./package.sh off

                                  Does anyone know how to make this work? This is probably the number one issue for many users, which is stopping them from upgrading to 2.1.

                                  There may have been a simple bug that is not letting squid and the quick floating rule work like before.

                                  We really need the fix!

                                    Hello folks,

                                    After about 8 months past, did someone try the new release of pf (2.1.1-RELEASE) to check if the issue still exist?
                                    for myself I've removed squid for a long time ago waiting a one's hero report that it's was fixed.
                                    I will keeping my eyes on this topic and I will waiting that HERO

                                    God bless all of you

                                      Has anyone tried pfSense 2.1.2 Release with Squid Proxy for Multi-Wan Load-Balacing.

                                        I am on the latest version on pfSense and there has not been a fix yet to the issue. Still suffering from the same problem.

                                          If you're only looking for failover capabilities, here's a workaround.
