CoDel limiter blocking WAN2
-
I have a dual WAN setup (2 WANs, 1LAN) and have the two WANs set up to load balance. I want to set up bandwidth management/limiters on the two WAN links so following the tutorial from JimP here, I set up the limiters+queues for each of the WAN interfaces along with the recommended floating firewall rules.
If I now do something like (from the pfSense box itself):
ping -S 192.168.5.2 cnn.com(where x.x.5.2 is the WAN2 IP address from the WAN2 x.x.5.1 gateway), the ping does not work. But, I can do the ping without issues from any other host on the LAN. If I turn off the floating FW rule for the WAN1 limiter, the ping works (even if I leave the WAN2 limiter rule active).My question: why is the floating FW rule for limiting WAN1 bandwidth blocking an outbound ping directed to go out from WAN2?
