      I have 2 wan connections wan1 & wan2 .I configured pf sense in fail over mode.It is working properly.But my problem is i want to set wan1 as default.When wan1 fails it automatically transfer traffic to wan2.But when wan1 become alive it will not come back until wan2 fail.
      what i need is traffic should come back to wan1 when wan1(default connection) alive even wan2 is alive

      pls help me in this

          yes,here fail over is working.To me wan1 is the high speed connection.I wish to make it as default connection.When it fails we can move to wan2.But  when wan1  come back I want to switch  automatically to wan1.(now it is coming  back only if wan2 fails)

            Could you provide a a screenshot of your pools and screenshot of your firewall rules in which you use the pools ?

              You simply need to reverse the gateways in the failover group.  Make sure the type is set to failover and not load balance.

              Also, you should be on 1.2-RC4 if you are not already.
