      I'm using 1.2.2 and followed the MultiWanVersion1.2 instructions from the wiki. Everything is working as it should. My backup connection is just that, a backup connection and I do not want to use it for load balancing purposes. What would need to change for a failover ONLY setup?

        Go to the pool config and set the type of pool to "failover"

        (it helps to read the descriptions of the functionalities in the pfSense WebGUI).

        We do what we must, because we can.

          Thank you.

          I tend to overlook the obvious and over complicate things…
