Multiwan firewall rules not working
-
ok, here is my problem. I set this up at my house and it works perfectly. But where i work we have a T-1 line and a Cable connection. I want one connection as a failover. Actually what i want is come one one connection and others on another connection. I know i can just have them on the whole thing and set a limiter which i do have on as well. But even having both as tier 1 does nothing.. I set the rules and the limiter will take affect but it will not change from the default gateway. Say i have Wan1 as default and i wanted to set some as Wan2 as tier 1 and wan1 as tier 2…It will still connect to wan1 by default. I have the gateways grouped and everything is connected. im really stumped on this one. I havent been using pfsense for a very long time but the fact that i have this working at home and it wont work there, has me puzzled. I can try to post some pictures of what i have if that may help..

A couple of things to check:
-
Have you enabled Advanced Outbound NAT and have the mappings generated correctly?
-
Do you have DNS servers for each internet provider configured correctly under System | General Setup ?

Make sure that you put the correct IP monitoring address. Pfsense thinks that the first tier is just fine, so it won't move to another.
