<![CDATA[Squid and Dual WAN Load Balancing]]>Hi all,

If I have read the forum posts correctly squid acting as a proxy server on the Load Balancer does not work. Correct?

Would it work if I put in a dedicated squid machine before the pfsense firewall/load balancer?

So it would be all pc pointing to proxy/squid, this sends packets on to pfsense/load balancer, which round robins them across dual WAN links.

Sound like a working solution?

Any advice or ideas are welcome.

Regards

Chris

Can't tell you what happened but it suddenly started working….

But it is and looking good so far.

I don't have that under advanced tab at all... I did upgrade to latest release recently. I know it was there ounce upon a time.

Also RRD graphs seem to of stopped since upgrade.

Think I should "re-upgrade"?

Support and help here is great!

Next step to do though is to get WAN 1 as my prefered connection and try get more traffic down there. Any suggestions?

I did use the guide originally. Helped a lot.

Thanks

Does pfSense think they 2 interfaces are up (under status - load balancer)

Can you ping the 2 modems from a box on the LAN? (rather than from pfSense), if not, then pfSense isn't set up right.

Did you use the guide at  http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/MultiWanVersion1.2?

trying to get this working now, but seem to not be getting out on pfsense box..

What all can i check out for? My ADSL modems are setup as routers, both netgear DG834's, they are handling there own dialing out and are connecting fine. DO i need to create NAT rules or anything else on them?

They are assigning IP's to each of the 2 WAN interfaces on the pfSense box, 192.168.100.x and 192.168.0.x

I can ping through to each modems IP from the pfsense box.

Somethign tells me its a routing issue…

Also where can i find the sticky connections option? think i am blind

Thanks in Advance
