      Can anyone else confirm 2.1.3 is working properly for multi-WAN/failover?

        I tried according to the Ekrem's topic here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=76467.0 (is in Turkish) without any success. As my concern still no solution at 2.1.3.

          Hi,  im new to PFS. If there is prolem with multiwan LB,  can i use one PFSense box for multiwan load balance and next second PFSense box for other things (like squid, snort, …)?

          pfsense runing in virtual, on HP N54L microserver, 2G RAM, 60G disk, WAN, LAN, DMZ, Wifi, OpenVPN server + client, suricata, pfblocker

            There isn't any problem with MultiWAN Load Balancing, the only constraint mentioned in this thread is that services running in a pfSense box only route to the default gateway, being unable to load balance, however outside the box, such LAN devices, it is working fine.

            Regarding using a second pfSense Box to run services while the first box load balancing, it is possible and a good solution.

                This seems to work with the last 2.2 snapshot.  :) :)

                  hi guys
                  I have pfsense 2.1.5 + load balance with 2 wans fixed ip + squid (not working correct)

                  I tried everything I found on this forum, but no success!

                  Curiosity … the closest I got was disabling the firewall rules loadbalance and yet balanciamento in fail over worked.

                  Much need of a solution.
                  :-\  :(

                    Hey man! Can you explain better the procedure on pf 2.2? I'm exausted all possibilities with 2.1.3 and 2.1.5 and go back to 2.0.x is not an option atm.
                    Failover works, but LB not. Without squid, it works like a charm.

                    Beta versions on productions machines always are a risk to us, but if someone can say it's working… :P

                        I'm a new pfsense home user and have been trying to figure out a way to have squid route outbound over an Openvpn client connection to an anonymized vpn service, while the rest of port 80/443 traffic is handled over the regular default route.

                        At first I was hopeful that I could use setfib to have squid use an alternate routing table, but pfsense wasn't compiled with the necessary options.

                        I'm on a 2.2 snapshot running Squid 2.x. I may try the v3 dev package and give the recommendation to use the tcp_outgoing_address directive next.

                        I suppose multiple routing tables and the option to use setfib on a per service basis for services running on pfsense would be a cool thing to do in the future. Would this and other situations where you have services running on pfsense and wish to have a custom route for each of them. I'm a noob, so there may be better ways….

                              Actually everithing in 2.2 is working well, with load balancing, squid and squidguard, here the procedure I follow to get everithing working:

                              https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=88826.0

                              but other references are inside. Hope this will help.
