load balancer

[aodisho]

Running pfsense 2.7.2 up to date. I wanted to set up a load-balancing pool for 3 vms I send live data to and all are on the same subnet and vlan. I noticed people have done this by going to the services and then selecting load balancer, but I dont have that option. I tried to find a package to install and the only thing I could find is haproxy and it seems to be not fully installed. Any one know how I can get the load balancer as a service?

The included load-balancer (relayd) was deprecated from 2.5.0 on. That's probably what you're seeing references to.

@aodisho
The old Load balancer was removed some versions back.
Yes, you have to use HAproxy for this goal now. You can find it in the Services menu after installation.
