        What type of WANs? Cable? DSL? How many? Are you doing MLPPP?

            Multi-WAN has no relation to fragmentation at all. In fact the firewall will never fragment packets. What's the actual problem and why do you think it's fragmentation?

              The problem is, after activating my second wan all my openvpn clients get random disconnects, I attached 2 prints screens, one with just one wan and other with 2 wans

              The fragmentation error I noticied because after activating the second wan, I get about 15 logs per second of blocked packets because fragmentation
              When I deactive the second wan, the fragmentation drops to about 1 per second
              I am not sure if fragmentation is caused by this, but the only thing I noticied was this

              And another thing I noticied is after disabling everything related with the second wan, the openvpn drops still occurs, I didnt rebooted the system yet

              edit: plus, i keep getting "503 - Service Not Available" accessing the pfsense

                Resolved by following this manual
