        How do you setup Load Balance with 2 WAN in 2.0 without using PBR?

            @sacha-la:

            Firewall Rule: LAN

            Action: Pass
            Interface: LAN
            Protocal: Any
            Source/Type: LAN Subnet
            Destination: check not
            Gateway: LoadBalance1

            Any other suggestions would be great!

            Hi!

            It seems you have the correct settings….
            Maybe you can check some status pages like: Status -> Gateways
            The first tab will show the gateways 'solo' and the second will show the status of the gateway group. Mine are like so:

            Can you ping a direct IP address on the internet instead of a hostname? Maybe it's a DNS problem?
            Does your Systemlog -> Firewall show 'blocked packets'?

            Good luck!

                    Having similar problems. All traffic originating from lan subnet to port 80 tcp (=all http traffic) should go to one gw group but instead its not. If instead of the group use any of the wan gateway it works. 31.3 snapshot

                      Thanks for all your suggestions. I decide to go back to v1.2.3 until 2.0 is out of beta. Load Balancing works  with v1.2.3 and easy to setup.

                        It is strange. From March 26 snapshot on PBR works perfectly for me. I can even use several gateway groups for HTTP traffics, depends on the destination.

                          Yes, I can confirm it working for me as well. It's the main reason I'm using pfSense instead of my home brew linux firewall where I only switch WANs on a host bases instead of protocol and time etc…
