Multi WAN Routing Split
-
Hello,
I would like to have my Mutli WAN setup on my Netgate XG-7100 so that all traffic will be routed out of one WAN interface, except for 3 specific hosts which contain web servers and game servers. I'd like them to have a dedicated connection. Currently It setup like this -
ETH1 - WAN 1 (VLAN 1)
ETH2 - WAN 2 (VLAN 2)
ETH3-8 LAN (VLAN 3)Currently WAN 1 is in use and the gateway is up, WAN 2 is also connected but the gateway is disabled until I work out how to route things correctly.
How would be best to accomplish this?
The method i tried (and failed) was to use WAN 1 as my default, then setup firewall rules for WAN 2 and set the gateway manually. I also added some deny rules after each entry as it stated to do in the documentation to prevent it using WAN 1 if WAN 2 happened to fail. https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/book/multiwan/policy-routing-configuration.html#enforcing-gateway-use
The result ended up being that both gateways would show as offline due to high packet lost so the routing seemed to be all over the place. The WAN connections are two separate providers on different external ranges entirely.
