      Hello all,

      We have a Pfsense in use with a failover configuration (1x coaxial, 1X DSL, 1x LTE) which also works well.
      Currently I am trying to find a way to access the web interface of the 3 routers on the WAN port.
      I have already tried firewall rules which send the traffic through the appropriate gateway, with an outgoing 1:1 Nat and with a virtual IP address on the interfaces and associated NAT entries.
      The following setup is active:
      LAN1 (192.168.147.1/24) -> Pfsense ETH1
      WAN1 (192.168.3.1/24 Fritz.Box) -> Pfsense ETH1 192.168.3.2
      WAN2 (192.168.4.1/24 Fritz.Box) -> Pfsense ETH2 192.168.3.2
      WAN3 (192.168.6.1/24 Fritz.Box) -> Pfsense ETH3 192.168.3.2

      I can reach the LAN1 router via Lan, the other 2 routers are always in timeout, also a ping is not possible.
      As soon as the failover changes to WAN2 I can reach it via webinterface but the other two are not reachable anymore.

      I am at my wit's end and need help
      How can I make the webinterface of the WAN routers reachable via LAN?

      Greetings Manuel

        @themanuleinxd said in Failover Wan / Reach all WAN routers Webinterface:

        WAN1 (192.168.3.1/24 Fritz.Box) -> Pfsense ETH1 192.168.3.2
        WAN2 (192.168.4.1/24 Fritz.Box) -> Pfsense ETH2 192.168.3.2
        WAN3 (192.168.6.1/24 Fritz.Box) -> Pfsense ETH3 192.168.3.2

        You cannot have the same IP on 3 network ports. (?)

        And WAN1 and LAN1 are connected to the same network port on pfSense?

        Some typos here?

        Regarding you issue, you probably looking for this docs article: Accessing a CPE/Modem from Inside the Firewall.

          Hello viragomann,

          yes those were typos unfortunately, it should read (Copy&Paste the Lines :D):
          LAN1 (192.168.147.1/24) -> Pfsense ETH0
          WAN1 (192.168.3.1/24 Fritz.Box) -> Pfsense ETH1 192.168.3.2
          WAN2 (192.168.4.1/24 Fritz.Box) -> Pfsense ETH2 192.168.4.2
          WAN3 (192.168.6.1/24 Fritz.Box) -> Pfsense ETH3 192.168.6.2

          I will try the helpdesk article

          thanks a lot!
