Apinger has it been replaced

[grandrivers]

well dual wan is what brought me to pfsense and for awhile apnginer was half usable for me but since its last recompile emeral did 2.2 ish its has broke the dual wan functionality of pfsense.
I think the worse your internet connections are the more important Apinger replacement is, maybe I truley am in the minority with apinger not working more than working
maybe its only residential connections that fight with apinger but somehow i have feeling thats not the case

I can help test as soon as ready bare metal install so no vm issuses

Thats great news jimp, I was just recently reading a blog post about the new webgui - yeah that is prob keeping everyone busy..  But sounds like the apinger issues will be addressed sooner vs later which is good news.. Thanks!

@johnpoz: The graphs/widgets you've posted are on the good side, just mostly harmless BS info. I keep getting BS like 109% packet loss, and the damned superbroken thing totally confused and eating all CPU until killed and respawned.

Glad to know apinger has had some work done on it, I've been hoping to use the dual-wan and failover functionality for years with pfsense but have been unable to due to it's brokenness. Hopefully we're months instead of years away now.

Switching to dpinger will be the last thing before we go to beta, it'll hopefully be committed this week.
