      Hello,
      I use pfSense 2.0 with 1 LAN, and 2 WAN interfaces. I have 2 boxes connected to the Internet (from the same company)
      I have a problem with the Trafic shaper.

      When I turn on Traffic Shaper, Internet and the web interface are lagging.

      I use the Wizard function: Single Lan multi Wan.
      I set up 1 LAN, 2 WAN with 10Mbps of Down and 1Mbps of Up each.

      And after applying rule, the Internet lags.

      I have enable and configure Load Balancing before, it work fine, the failover to.

      For information:

      • My fist box:
      • IP: 192.168.1.1
      • My second box:
      • IP: 192.168.2.1
      • My WAN Interface:
      • IP: 192.168.1.53 / 24
      • Gateway: WANGW: 192.168.1.1
      • Interface: WAN(wan) -> em0
      • My WAN2 Interface:
      • IP: 192.168.2.53 / 24
      • Gateway: WAN2GW: 192.168.2.1
      • Interface: WAN2(opt1) -> em2

      *My LAN Interface:

      • IP 172.20.1.1
      • Subnet: 255.255.0.0
      • Interface: LAN(lan) -> em1

      I use VMWare on Windows.
      Connexion em0 is Bridged (mode bridged in WMWare) to my LAN card 1
      Connexion em2 is Bridged (mode bridged in WMWare) to my LAN card 1
      Connexion em1 is Bridged (mode custom (VMnet9 (Bridged)) who is bridged to my LAN card 2.

      It is recommended to have 3 reels interfaces, but it’s work correctly, using only loadbalancing, so I’m not sure it is a problem to keep only 2 real interfaces.

      I have test on another computer, it is the same.

      If I disable Traffic Shaping in WAN1 or in WAN1 and WAN2, Internet works correctly.

      Any idea? Have you already test on 2 WANs?

      Thanks you in advance.

      David

        I have found the problem: the Trafic Shaper Wizard doesn’t create the Floating rules in the Firewall Rules.
        I had test many time, but in 1 of my 2 virtual machine it doesn’t works.
