5 Wan links, Only 3 working (Policy Based)
-
I am really hopeful that somebody can assist me with a small problem I have encountered.
I have been using pfSense since 0.6* or somewhere around there. I have always had 3 wan links and used policy based routing. No failover or load balancing.
I simply create firewall rules in the Lan section and point to the gateway I wish to use.
Recently I have added 2 links; however if I select the new gateways no traffic moves across them and I cannot find any errors in the logs.
My setup looks like this
rl0:192.168.0.125/16 (LAN)
ste0: 209.212.119./29 (WAN - Cable Link)
ste1: 196.211.142./29 (OPT1 - DSL Link)
ste2: 209.212.121./29 (OPT2 - Cable Link)
ste3: 196.211.127./29 (OPT4 - DSL Link)
ste4: 172.16.5.**/24 (OPT5 - 3G Link)Each ste* interface is a seperate physical link (just incase the ip ranges make you think they are the same links)
What I normally do is create rules like "TCP 192.168.0.3 443 (HTTPS) 169.202.9.74 443 (HTTPS) 209.212.121.** Banking"
This works perfectly for me unless I select the gateways for the 2 new links. Then it is dead. Nothing in the firewall logs, no traffic. Just dead. The links are working 100% I can see the gateways from the firewall and I can ping the gateways from outside.
I am currently using 1.2-BETA-1-PRERELEASE-SNAPSHOT-04-23-07

Okay, Well….
I figured it out. I just had to add an outbound NAT rule and it is working 100%
Not sure if its working as intended but my problem is solved so I am happy.
