PfSense 2.1 Floating rules for Multi Wan doesn't work.
-
I do not know how Squid works, most importantly it works. ;)
-
Squid works with multi-wan on 2.0.3 by using floating rules. Users have reported that it is not working with 2.1 with multi-wan even when using floating rules.
Many users are looking for a way to use multi-wan and squid using 2.1.
When this is solved many of us who have squid and multi wan will be able to use 2.1, and be grateful to the person who provides the solution.
-
Finally, after a long time trying pfSense Squid Package + Multi Wan and I have managed to find its way in a deadlock.
pfSense 2.1 Squid Package + Multi Wan, no longer using the Floating Rules, but using the Interface Groups.
Good Luck Everyone.I have followed the same steps but all in vain,
squid still uses only default gateway :( does not work with Interface Groupstill waiting to fix it…
-
If you check whatmyip you can see only default WAN, but you can see all the WANs work together.
Note: This Load-Balance Bandwith Agreggation not Load-Balance Round Robin.
-
My tests show that squid is only using the default gateway. I understand and have the interface group. It can be used by rules but is not being used by squid, which has a large majority of our traffic.
-
pfSense 2.1.1 soon be out, hoping the problem will be solved.
-
I'm not sure if 2.1.1 wil fix something abaout this, JIMP answer that they don't now the problem, https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,71546.msg391065.html#msg391065, perhaps any you that have a better understanding than me about this problem can add bug ticket.

I don't think it's an issue or bug in pfsense 2.1 multi-wans and proxy (squid), but it's seems that there is a mess-configuration in squid to does not use multi-wan and still sticking using default gateway.

Bottom line: There is no solution for this issue so far. We have to keep pfSense 2.0.3 until somebody comes with a final solution. Hope the gurus to figure this out.
Thanks.

compare /tmp/rules.debug on 2.0.3 where it works and on 2.1 where it doesn't, the answer may lie there. The config would have to be identical for it to be a valid comparison.

Got it working!!! Using Openvpn as Wan2 with Unofficial Lusca proxy. Should work with squid.

Great and congrats .. Actually pfSense 2.1 is not stable for me sometimes it works, after reboot it does not work, a few hours later it works, sometimes it do not work. :'( :'(

The simple Question is, How did you achieve this goal?
Please share your knowledge with us!greetings Oli

Do not use Lusca. It changes your package repository to look at a server that is not controlled by us, and it is not kept up-to-date. There is no telling what you're actually fetching from them.

Hi, jimp!
I'm not very familiar with git and code, but I know for sure that squid multi-wan functionality in 2.0.3-RELEASE was provided by one of ermal patches (https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-tools/commit/457052913414f7c2109fed415e66ed912a530ebe#diff-7304e60ae2121cfce1c817e216d6b95cR14, I think).
I doubt if the patch applied in 2.1-RELEASE. This could be cause of the problem discussed here. -
If you switched your package repository over to lusca, because you were desperate for a solution to this and a bit of an idiot, how would you switch it back?
Thanks

Unfortunately, Going to the pkg_mgr_settings.php page and saving with out checking the box, doesn't revert back to the pfsnese package repository.
