    In my LAN I have 2 links for internet browsing. Half of my clients I make them go out through one link and the other half through the other link using firewall rules.
    I'm looking for a way so that if a link falls, my clients who browse through the fallen link go to the other link.
    All this I want to achieve without using Gataway Groups (Multi-WAN).
    Would someone illustrate to me how I could do it?
    I appreciate your time and expertise.
    Best regards

    Gabriel

      The way to do this is with gateway groups. Why would you not want to use gateway groups? Just create two groups, one with wan tier 1 and opt tier 2, the other opt tier 1, wan tier 2. Point the rules to the groups instead of the gateway.

        I've used Gateway Groups a long time, but the sticky connections don't work and I have a lot of problems with expired sessions (banks and many others sites).
        That's why I'm looking for another alternative.

          Yes they do. Sticky connections are more a potential solution for load balancing setups than failover.

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