      Hi Pfsense members,

      I am trying to setup a CARP with state synchronisation. I have two Pfsense Netgate SG-8860 1U boxes and want to have high availability on my network. Our ISP offers high availability. They have two uplinks with equal cost load balancing. So if a package send back out of R1 interface, it may get back on R2 WAN interface. I would like to have both boxes to share one WAN IP address, IPsec VPN should also be redundant.
      I have tried to setup the envouriment, but my R2 does not seem to work. Can anybody tell me if my described scenario can work?

      I have setup the following:

      • Setup CARP interface, enable state synchronization (pfsync)
      • Setup XMLRPC Sync
      • SETUP CARP for LAN IP address
      • Configured the same WAN IP address for both routers
