Multi WAN routing not working, one PPPoE one DHCP behind ISP NAT router
-
Hi all,
I'm struggling to get load balancing working across two WAN interfaces.
The first interface is PPPoE. The second is using a cable router which I've been unable to get to work in modem mode (I might post about that separately!), so is therefore acting as a NAT router with IP 192.168.0.1, giving PFSense an IP of 192.168.0.14.
I've set monitor IPs on the first interface as 8.8.8.8 and on the second 1.1.1.1. Both show as online:
I've also configured gateway groups as shown:
I've tried trigger level on both member down and packet loss or high latency.
In firewall rules, I set the gateway accordingly:
No matter what I try, traffic always goes out via the first WAN interface. Interestingly changing the gateway in the firewall rule to the second WAN interface also sees traffic continue to go out via the first:
I've tried both with and without sticky connections.
If I yank the cable out of the first WAN connection, it fails over just fine and starts to use WAN2, but that's the only scenario where it does.
Tracert 1.1.1.1 goes out via WAN2, anything else via WAN1.
Anything I've missed?
Thanks,

@identitypaul Answering my own question, after many days of battling with this...
Resetting the state table fixed it instantly.
