      i am Using pfsense 2.1.5

      I try to create WAN fail over
      I used this guide
      Youtube Video

      and It does not work
      The second gateway is Always red

      I tried to to disconnect the first WAN

      And see if it works

        I guess WAN2 cannot reach that monitor IP 109.226.0.58
        I can ping that from my desk, so it is a real public IP that responds to ping.
        Get onto that 10.10.10.* upstream private subnet with some other device and see if it actually can reach the internet…

          I checked from an address 10.10.10.10
          And there is Ping

          I use an old computer as a router
          Its wireless card goes to the Internet

          And its wired card distributes addresses (dhcp)
          the address of the wired card is 10.10.10.10 (static)

            Now I look closer - your selection of DNS servers to WANs in General System is the reverse of your use of monitor IPs on the WAN gateways. Both of those rely on forcing the traffic to those IPs out the particular WAN specified.
            If you use the same IP as a DNS server and monitor IP then the 2 uses of the IP must be on the same WAN.
            I guess there could/should be some validation for that.

                  After a lot of digging
                  And Help
                  The issue is resolved

                  The problem was
                  Router converted computer

                  Yet there is something strange to me

                  Why the latency is High
                  on 65 now

                  Usually between 8 and 13
