      Hi all,

      I understand how to create a time based rule to block or allow access to specific destinations.  However, pfSense does not allow the combination of a schedule and a non-default gateway in the same rule.

      I'd like to push all traffic over an utilised WAN link after hours though (which does not incur a usage charge), but during the day the traffic should go over ADSL which is faster (and the other WAN link is used for VOIP traffic during the day)

      I have been thinking about this and am wondering if someone has figured out a way to do this with a possibly a combination of negative rules and schedules?  I've tried some rules this way and that way, but I always run into the problem that the rules stop being applied as soon as the first match is found.

      Any ideas or help you can offer?

      regards

          Excellent.  I will download a 2.0 snapshot to test with.  How far is 2.0 from a stable release?

            VERY far.
            It doesn't sport the "ALPHA" in it's name just for the looks ;)
