Multi WAN four WAN connections.. (question)
-
Hi, there are examples about wan balancing and failover with two WAN links, but is there a limit of two in pfsense? I have four internet services here and I would like to load balance them with pfsense, would that be possible?
Also, load balance means that pfsense will use the four wan links alternatively to download and upload packets right? just like if I had more bandwitdh…
thanks!

Yes and no.
If you download something, it will use one link for the session, not a combination of all four links. However, if you start a second download, the load from the server will be balanced across all four links, so the second download will probably use a different link than the first download.
You cannot combine all of the bandwidth across links and use it for one download. That is link binding, which is something that your ISP has to do.

But u can use a Downloadmanager like "downthemall", most websites support multiple segments, so u can get speed like on big line.
