        https traffic doesn't like loadbalance, so you need to create rule to use only one gateway at a time or use sticky connections

          Hi Thanks for reply .

          I have setup sticky connection but connection became stuck in Round-Robin system.Webpages are not opening propely.So I setup Rule in LAN and used Load Balancing behaviour in Load Balancer. As per Pfsense document ,But it is still not working.
          Below is my setup,Please check once and let me know if I missed something else.

          Parameter                  Value
          Action                        Pass
          Disabled                      unchecked
          Interface                    LAN
          Protocol                      TCP
          Source:                      not unchecked
          Source: type                LAN subnet
          Source OS                  Any
          Destination:(not)          unchecked
          Destination:type          any
          Destination port range    HTTPS
          Log checked initially      uncheck
          Gateway                      WAN1
          Description                  Route https through one working connection

          Thanks

            You can't load balance HTTPS, there is no way around that.

              by your description it seems to be ok, have you resetted your states after adding this rule above your multiwan rule?

                Hi,
                Please keep all discussion on the forum rather than PMs.  ;)

                @PM:

                We are facing an issue with Pfsense. when we setup Load balancing the Secure connection( Mainly HTTPS sites) is not working . It does not allow two public IP’s in same session, So it is being rejected.
                As per pfsense documentation available in net we tried to use “Sticky Connection” and also  tried to setup LAN rule for HTTPS but the issue is still not resolved.
                We are using Pfsense 1.2.2 version.
                We are  using  same IP for two different HTTPS  mail server.Actully the two mail server hosted into single Machine. Please let me know how  can I resolve the issue?

                Why are you running such an old version of pfSense?
                Your message is a bit confusing. Are you using inbound or outbound load balancing?

                Steve
