PfSense 2.1 Floating rules for Multi Wan doesn't work.
-
You should be able to use standard gateways like normal for everything but HTTP. Floating rules are not broken, as evidenced by setting a rule for any source to any destination HTTP with the active gateway being something other than the default gateway. At this point squid is unable to pass traffic because it's trying to push it out the default gateway and it's actually being sent out another.
As long as you have default gateway switching enabled, squid will switch to that gateway when it is restarted. I've tested this and it's working great.

Hello !
Any news?
I test an upgrade from 2.0.x to 2.1.4 and it don't work. Squid is very slow, and the http port don't work.
We can't update pfsense :-(Thanks a lot
-
Same question here, im on pfsense 2.1.4 and wondering if any solution yet to squid (no transparency) + loadbalance + failover, thanks in advance.
-
I came back hoping that after one year there would be a fix but :'(
Wasting 2 lines atm as long as the default gateway doesn't go down. -
I setup Multi-WAN like shown in the official tutorial…. Works only for Connections without squid. And works very fine. But I also need squid. So I installed the squid 3.3-dev package from the package-list, because squid supports the "radom" command since 3.2.
I know it is a dev-package, but I run it on a wlan-network with 5000 Users on peek and its runs very fine. Also with squidguard.
I also know that there is no failover for squid, if one of the lines will be offline, but that is not important for me, because the two lines are from the same provider and come over the same cable. It’s a cable internet connection from unitymedia(Germany).I added these lines, for split the traffic to two lines. *1
acl fiftyPercent random 0.5
tcp_outgoing_address 192.0.2.1 fiftyPercent
tcp_outgoing_address 192.0.2.2*1: The information’s found here: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/AclRandom
greets Smithes -
i am using 2.1.5-RELEASE and squid 2.7.9 pkg v.4.3.4 and have the same issue, squid only work with defaul gateway, anyone have any idea ?
-
Work around will be too easy if you are using virtual, in fact there are lot of ways with virtual setup.
-
Does acl random provide failover if one gateway is down?
-
If all the modems has got the same speed what should write custom options for equal speed ?
first install squid3-dev from available packages.
++++++in this way you can use configuration directive acl random .
from squid doc :
changes in 3.2 acl : randomNew type random. Pseudo-randomly match requests based on a configured probability .
now you can do all the configuration you need for multiwan in Custom options - Custom setting of proxy server.
in my situation ( 3 wan ) :
"
acl venticinque random 1/4
acl settantacinquediv2 random 0.5tcp_outgoing_address 192.168.4.254 venticinque
tcp_outgoing_address 192.168.3.254 settantacinquediv2
tcp_outgoing_address 192.168.2.254
"
192.168.4.254 = ipv4 address wan 1
192.168.3.254 = ipv4 address wan 2
192.168.2.254 = ipv4 address wan 3random 1/4 = 25 % = wan1 25% of traffic
random 0.5 = (100-25)/2 = wan2 37,5 % of traffic
else = wan3 37,5 % of traffici do this because my 3 wan are not equal.
in case of 2 wan :
"
acl cinquanta random 0.5tcp_outgoing_address 192.168.4.254 cinquanta
tcp_outgoing_address 192.168.2.254
"
you do not need extra rule on firewall ( floating rule ) .
Also it bypass gateway groups. -
