      Hi,

      I have been using pfsense for a while now. Thank you for the ESF guys! You are awesome!!!

      I am using VoIP for my home phone. Right now, I have a normal DSL connection. My worry is, when the DSL connection goes down, my phones do not work as well.

      I am thinking of installing a 3G/4G modem (whatever works), as a backup for VoIP only.

      So when my DSL (main line) is down, all voip traffic goes over the 3G/4G network. But I do not want any traffic to be send over the 3G/4G, while the DSL is working (to save cost).

      How can this be realized? I am just looking for a more high level config, so I have an idea what steps I have to take to make this work. I am not looking for a how-to-step-by-step-take-me-by-my-hand-kind-off guide. More a generic type guide.

      I hope my request is clear.

      Thanks in advance!

      Eddi

        1. Make a gateway group "Failover" with DSL WAN tier 1, 3G/4G WAN tier 2
        2. Add rule/s on LAN that pass the traffic you want to failover, in the advanced section specify the "Failover" gateway group as the gateway.

        As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."
