      Hello everyone. I am having a small problem with my network setup. I am utilizing VLANs now, and I also have WAN Failover setup. When I go and change the gateway in the rules to my loadbalancer titled "wanfailover" all of the sudden communication between my vlans stop. VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 cannot communicate any longer. As soon as I change it back to " * ", it works again. Does anybody know why this is? And how I can solve it?

      Thanks,
      Anthony

          If your only rule is the rule with the balancer, you force your traffic into the balancer.
          You need an additional rule above your balancing rule for your local traffic with as gateway *.

          We do what we must, because we can.

            Could you tell me exactly how I should design that rule? Source? Destination?

              Rule1:
              Source: subnet_from_which_you_are_connection
              Destination: your_vlan_subnets
              gateway: *

              Rule2:
              Source: subnet_from_which_you_are_connection
              Destination: any
              gateway: balancer
