      huhhh....
      this shows that you only have one ISP public IP on WAN 1
      RFC1918 address is configured on WAN2 (this could easily be one dual -NAT on WAN2?)
      and you have a VPN gateway configured as well

      this is not a pure dual-ISP load balance setting with multi -WAN

      what does your gateway setting look like?

        Hi,

        Always take in account that 8.8.8.8 was build with on goal in mind : serving DNS requests on it's port 53.
        If it has time to do something else - that's how ICMP works - il will reply on ICMP requests.
        Then the entire world decided to give 8.8.8.8 all their DNS requests.
        All this boils down to : you have to consider that it's maybe not wise to choose a heavenly loaded server as 'ICMP 'test' point.

        Not receiving an answer on a ping request doesn't break anything **. You might say : the route the ping packet took is over crowded, so it will get ditched immediately.

        The dpinger process is counting the returns of a ping. If to many are missing, it will reset your "WAN" connection - this connection might be without any issues, except that further on the route some router decides to throw away a ping packet or two.

        I advise you to use/test with another monitor IP ... because if 8.8.8.8 - or the route to it - goes bad, your local connection to the net will really suffer, because dpinger starts to bounce it.

        Btw : If you native WAN connection is bad, the traffic that flows through it is also bad : in your case the VPN over the WAN traffic.

        ** With IPv6 this changes.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          the basic problem of the OP is, that with a multi-WAN configuration it is not possible to access the GUI on the second WAN connection

          I agree with you about monitor IP:
          although it can be seen in my own configuration that I use 1.0.0.1(on the second and VPN gateway) for this purpose, unfortunately the ExpVPN gateway is not pingable
          I can't set up VPN GTW monitoring with another gateway - which one?
          Plus, CloudFlare has a very fast response time on my location, so I don't spoil my measurement results

          since I also use this for DNS, through the VPN tunnel, so I get the values with a good approximation

          any suggestions for external monitor IP?

              this doesn't need to be obscured as I have already seen everything from dpinger logs ✋

              so, I really can't use what you uploaded (PRTSC)

              so, WAN2 gets an internal IP address? (RFC1918), do you get it from another DHCP-capable router on your internal network?

              edit: 192.168.80.171 (RFC1918)

                The policy of this provider is this - the real ip address is looking on the Internet, all requests from it are forwarded to the corresponding address ports 192.168.80.171 - this is the provider subnet2.png

                  Yes, just like a dual -NAT
                  (what device do you have from your ISP for this configuration)

                  where do you get this IP address?
                  192.168.80.171 from 192.168.80.1 GTW via DHCP?

                  109.72.249.161 ??? I think this is your public 2 address ISP GTW
                  what ports are forwarded 109.72.249.161 and it is between 192.168.80.1 - 192.168.80.171

                  what is the GUI access port (on your device)?
                  it will surely be transmitted across this dual NAT suspicious configuration

                    I also had a suspicion of NAT
                    But other ports are forwarded without problems.
                    The provider claims that all ports are forwarded 1:1, nothing is blocked

                      Okay, let's try it
                      move the GUI port to a good height, such as 50443

                      F.E.:

                      you know I wouldn't use such an ISP ☺
                      you still haven't written down your hardwares types and connections methods

                              if there is no port filtering..... - , you say that 1:1, then something is still missing (NAT-NAT-NAT)

                              we would expect a drawing from you about the system (in any form, even by hand)
                              and raise the GUI port to a higher range

                              • I would still pull out the WAN1 cable (if it is possible of course) and see what happens then
                                -I think you will be surprised what is not working in addition to the GUI yet

                              the load balancer can hide a lot of things in front of your eyes, if you don't pay attention and you think everything works great on both WANs (Round-robin)
