      Home/Home office so maybe a little more complicated than a standard business location.

      WAN1 = Dynamic IP, DOCSIS 3.0 Cable (retail)
      WAN2 = Verizon LTE (business but wireless), (I assume dynamic IP)
      WAN3 = FiOS Small Business, 150/150 with 5 Static IPs

      When I do things like log into GoDaddy to try and access the web GUI for a GoDaddy hosted website or when I go to our doctor's site or the website for our health insurance and you enter your credentials on one page and then it redirects you to another page/site/address… It's breaking.

      I feel like maybe the load balancing algo I chose inside pfSense is breaking that handoff from the initial page to the secure connection and the remote place/company/server is seeing a different IP address so we are getting errors like "cannot log in from two places", etc. Everything is fine on my end but the wife & kids are getting these errors trying to log into work Exchange mail, school pages, health insurance and doctor's sites, etc. What I've been doing is taking down all but one WAN to fix it.

      What do I not know or what did I forget? Thanks.

        https loadbalancing doesnt work.

        best to put https into failover or try experimenting with 'sticky connections'
