      Dear all,

      Hope you all doing well. Can we configure triple WAN connections on Pfsense?
      we have multiple VLANs and we want to set different internet on VLANs.
      I tried in rules using changing gateway but it only works on 2 internet connections. Pfsense doesn't use a third internet connection. I also tried using load balancing with 3 internet connections using tire 1 but it didn't. We are using 2.5.2

        Yes. Just tier the WANs on failover. You need to make a gateway group, though, first.

          WAN connections on Pfsense?

          Ok, what hardware is involved, CPU, RAM, Eth/SFP ports
          will be nice to know for us first. Also your entire internet connection speed for each internet link will be nice to know for us. In normal it would be able to realize with pfSense in several ways, like you need and want to go
          with without any problems.

          we have multiple VLANs and we want to set different
          internet on VLANs.
          At first I would to know about how many VLANs are in the game here and then on top it will be nice to know, why
          you want to split them all.

          I tried in rules using changing gateway but it only
          works on 2 internet connections.
          In normal we are talking here about three different steps
          to set up for your pfSense and network. It is not wise to
          set up all cross and try out something here and there.

          We are using 2.5.2
          Why not on version 2.6? Realtek drivers? Or something else?

          1. Updating the pfSense (backup and config backup) will be nice to do first.

          2. Finding a solution for the problem.
            a.)
            Building a Gateway group and then the 3 TIERS
            and then set up load balancing over them.

          • Session based routing
          • Service based routing
          • policy based routing

          Are all available to use for you, and a fail over on top comes!

          b.)
          Building 3 Gateway Groups and each is sorted with one
          TIER! The set up for VLANx to VLANy please use this
          gateway 1 or 2 or 3

          That said we need a little more input oin this from you.

            I am using a PC for pfsense with ethernet ports. I have all internet connections with 100 Mbps. About Realtek drivers, I don't know. I have built a gateway group of all connections with tier 1 using a trigger level of packet loss or high latency. I am using the gateway of WAN1 to VLANA and likewise WAN2 to VLANB & WAN3 to VLANC.
