      I'm going to have to do a clean install to make sure this is an issue w/ the Pfense Beta release.

      I've got 2 WANs.

      WAN1 500mbit up/down
      WAN2 250mbit up/down

      I've got them setup in a Gateway group with WAN1 with a weight of 2.

      I use to be able to go to dslreports.com/speedtest and get 750mbit up and down all day long.

      Ever since upgrading to the beta release, browsers and hosts only use 1 WAN.

      Weird part, even when I change the LAN firewall rule to only exit 1 WAN (instead of the gateway group), the browsers or hosts will ignore whatever LAN rule is setup in PFSENSE and exit whatever WAN it previously had a connection through until the browser cache is cleared. When I disable the other WAN trying to force a connection through the gateway setup in the LAN rule, the browser will hang for ~20-30 seconds before exiting the WAN matching the firewall rule. Happens across Chrome, Firefox and Edge. Something fishy is going on...

      Got a feeling uncle Sam is tried of tracking people across multiple WANs and needed an easy way to keep people on 1 connection.

      I'll report back after I do a clean install.

        reverted back to 2.4.5 and it's working as expected now.

        WANs are combining speeds, and changing the LAN rule for the gateway and the browser is following with every refresh w/out having to clear cache.

        Did you guys get some NSA spys coding on 2.5 beta edition? lol

          This was working with a previous 2.5 snapshot? Do know which one was definitely working?
