      Good morning,
      i am checking the configuration of my pfsense firewall as we have 2 adsl lines and it had to be configured to use the main line to navigate and the other as a backup in case the main line does not work.

      It happened precisely because of a thunderstorm that the main line was broken for 1 day, but unfortunately the backup line did not work ...
      I tried several times to contact who configured the firewall, but without success, so I'm trying to do it myself ...

      My configuration is this:

      The main line (a 100Mb / s) whose modem / router has this ip address: 192.168.178.1
      The secondary line (a 20Mb / s) whose modem / router has this ip address: 192.168.0.1

      Both connect to the pfsense firewall
      the firewall ip is 192.168.1.5

      In System / routing of pfsense I see that there is a WAN whose gateway is the main line IP, but there is no wan pointing to the second line IP.
      Could this be the problem?

      Thanks a lot to everyone.

        Hi,
        check out the great pfSense docs about Multi WAN:
