Specific rule for gw group not taken into account
-
Hi.
pfSense 2.4.4p2.
I tried following several guides and everything looks ok to me, but I cannot make multi wan behave like I would.
I have a LAN, a land ADSL and a 4G modem, connected via RJ45.
I've created three GW groups, one for balancing and two for failover.
Sticky connections
To avoid using Sticky connections I created a LAN firewall rule to route traffic for specific sites through the ADSL priority gw group, so all connections are directed to a single line. As visible in the states below no packet is passing through it. The rule uses a firewall alias to group several hostnames, but I tried duplicating the line with a single IP address and it does the same.ping/traceroute to 8.8.4.4 (4G monitoring IP) goes as expected via the secondary line.
Balancing?
Second issue: the balancing is not being effective, no traffic is going through the 4G network. The traffic graph shows 1kb/s, probably just the gateway monitoring packets.As said before I believe I'm missing something, but cannot figure out what.
Thanks -
Looks like the installation was broken. I had some messages of
libreadline.so
missing or something like that, at first was only php but then I found unbound wasn't starting because of that. Upgraded to 2.4.5 (reinstalled, to be more precise) and not the firewall rules appear to work as expected.
