            If you have more than one WAN link and they are not going to the same gateway, pfSense can use multiple WAN links.  What it will not do is bind together two or more WAN links and aggregate a connection across the combined WAN links.  It can have multiple connections across WAN links by allowing each connection to go over a different WAN link.
