      Hello,

      version: 2.5.2

      i am a bit lost in a multi wan setup with multi vlans..
      i read many tutorials on this topic, all suggest to create a firewall rule in the (v)lan with the failover gateway group as GW ... but... it does not switch back to tier1 after its online again. the vlan stays on tier2 no matter what.

      this was also discussed here...
      https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11570

      so i after trying and trying... i found out that if the firewall rules for the vlans stays "default gateway" AND the default gateway is changed under routing/gateway to the failover group it just works fine like it should. if tier1 comes back online, default gateway switches to tier1 and all vlans are using wan1 instead of wan2 when reaching the internet.

      but now i need a vlan with the inverted gw group... so tier1 is wan2 and tier2 is wan1.
      so now i am at the starting point. how can i change the failover gwgroup for the one vlan without changing it in the firewall rules, because this way will end that the vlan stays on tier2 forever :(

      maybe someone can help out
