Not sure if my load balancing works
-
Hello,
I want to "load balancing" the traffic over my 2 connections. I followed the guilde https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/routing/multi-wan.html
As you can see, I have a "default" gateway or I want that the traffic go through my 2 gateways (50/50):
Sometimes the "default" change and go to the other gateway.
The routes (as you can see there are a default):
Here's the traffic of WAN1:
WAN2:
Thanks.

This is not entirely up to you (50/50), as loadbalancing uses a round-robin algorithm.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_balancing_(computing)You're on the right way, anyway.

Thanks for the information. Even if it's not "50/50" I just want to make sure my load balancing is working well

Try to create a test condition that places a heavy load on the WAN-side connection (gateway group).
The test should be stronger than your lower performing WAN connection and watch the graphs or log with Zabbix (for example)
