      Hello,
      I have pfsense 2.0.1.
      I have 2 WAN:

      • WAN1 is ADSL connection, is a default gateway for my network;
      • WAN2 is another ADSL connection;

      How to configure failover so that if it wan1 goes down use the WAN2 automatically ?

        You need to create a gateway group in System | Routing | Groups
        Then use the group as the gateway in your firewall rules.

        If I fix one more thing than I break in a day, it's a good day!
