Dual wan

UlfLaursen

Hi guys

I am new to pfsense.

I want two wans connected to the box as load balancing. Is it possible to a primary connection which always is taken first if available, and is it possible to lead a specific LAN IP or range through a specific wan interface?

Thanks

Yes, you can use a failover gateway group and apply that instead of load balancing to some or all traffic.
Yes, you can policy route all traffic from one internal subnet via a specific gateway.

What you're talking about is fallback, not load balancing. With load balancing, you need parallel connections to the same ISP and the traffic will be distributed over the multiple connections. It would also provide some fallback capability. Also, with fallback, any TCP connections will be broken.
