      In a multiwan setup (load balancing), with pppoe and same gateway, enabling sticky connections causes some (50%+) of the connections to be droped.

      When sticky enabled if you open a web page, some loads and some don't.

      I've tested sticky in 2.0 betas, 2.0 final and now in a 2.0.1 clean installation, never worked for me.

      Any advice how to troubleshoot this? Are sticky connections working fine for anyone with multiwan with same gateway in the wans?

        Not sure for PPPoE but as far as I know MuliWAN never works as long as all links use the same gateway.
        Sticky connections has nothing to do with that.

          iirc PPPoE is a special case, where having the same gateway on more than one links works (for pfsense v2.0.1+).

            Setup works fine with same gateway with sticky disabled, enabling sticky is causing the problems with dropped connections.

              Sticky with multiple PPPoE with the same gateway isn't going to work correctly.
