      Hello,

      I have two DSL lines groupped as Tier1(i'm merging two connections) on Pfsense 2.3.3, both DSL lines have different static ip addresses, balancing working perfectly pfsense sensing the load of the network and switching users between two DSL lines automatically. What i am having trouble with is online banking systems, accounting dept. keeps logging out while they are working on online banking systems due to changing wan ip address.

      For example : accounting dept. worker has login to online banking system and while she did that pfsense let her reach to internet via 1st DSL line (wan ip : 213.14.152.147) while she was working load balance kicked in and pfsense diverted that user to second DSL line (wan ip : 212.152.164.140) so user's wan ip has changed and online banking system kicked her out.

      I was wondering is it possible to fix wan ip for some users. For example can i create a rule that allow accounting group access to internet using first DSL line only ?

        Try enabling Load Balancing, Use Sticky Connections in System > Advanced, Miscellaneous

        Else you might try creating a failover group and policy routing a subset of local addresses to that instead of the load balance gateway group.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
