Problems wit Dual Wan and policy based routing

billm

No need to use gateway pools, just choose the gateways you want to use in your rules. For the LAN rules, leave it at default gateway if you wish to use the default route. For the OPT1 (DMZ) rules, choose the OPT2 (WAN2) gateway IP at the bottom of the rule editor screen. Should work like magic (make sure NAT is setup correctly, I suspect you may need to use adv. outbound nat, but I might be wrong).

Ok thx billm that worked perfectly.

This week I'm going to do a tutorial to setup Multi Wan and how to play with rules to make policy based routing.

Please DON'T send this tutorial to one of the mailinglists. This causes a lot of bandwidth and most likely won't be accepted anyway due to size limitations. Send it to coreteam@pfsense.com instead. Thank you for creating a tutorial…or is it too early to thank? ;)

Dan

Don't worry about sending it to mailing list, was not my idea ;)

Give me thanks later on this week, I just need some free time.

Dan

Ok I sended the tutorial to the address you gave me.

Indeed, good work Dan!

I'm testing your guide with two Cable (10Mbit) ISP connections here in Australia.

fxp0 => LAN
fxp1 => WAN
fxp2 => OPT1 (re-designated as WAN2)

WAN => Telstra Cable (due to bpalogin being needed)
WAN2 => Optus Cable

WAN and WAN2 are using DHCP.
(Telstra needs bpalogin to make the connection workable,
but really uses DHCP to get IP address, DNS info, etc).

LAN is using Static IP as I want to manual specify which
PC connects to which ISP.

I guess the only tricky part is that you must be specific
with the firewall rules!

I'm thinking about doing a complete detailed guide for
Aussie newbie users. (It should still apply for anyone with
two or more DHCP WAN connections)

Should I title it : "Consolidating Multiple ISP connections with pfSense" ???
