Hi Chris,

Thank you for tip! I have successfully added floating outbound rules and it works now. Do I need to add static routes and firewall rules or it would be enough to add just floating rules? I may see static rules on WAN are redundant than.

Any thoughts about RIP/BGP/OSP routing if my second gateway advertise routing tables? Do I need to add floating rules as well for advertised routes via RIP/BGP/OSP? Or with EBFPd daemon it would be more flexible.


Thank you!

Oleg

Oleg -

WAN interfaces (interfaces with a gateway set on them) are treated differently.

The rule set forces all connections out that interface to a specific gateway 
(the interface gateway) with route-to.

You can add floating pass rules on WAN in the outbound direction to the 
destinations on the other side of that router (every network with that gateway 
as a static route) and probably a destination of the gateway address with no 
gateway set (the default gateway). That will disable route-to for that traffic.

If you want connections from the networks on the other side of the second 
gateway into pfSense you will need to disable reply-to on those pass rules or 
reply traffic will be forced to the interface gateway. Disable reply-to is in 
the advanced section of the rules.

Hi,

I am setting up static routes on WAN with two gateways.  One gateway is default 
ISP and the second is a private network however both are in public WAN net.  I 
may ping both gateways and of course the default one works flawlessly.  Second 
GW works ok using other FW GW from other networks.  Both GW are in the same WAN 
network, the same subnet.

Status shows both gateways are online and I have added static rules to direct 
traffic to 4 IPs to the second gateway so I may access resources in private 
network via second gateway in WAN network.

All statuses and suggested diagnostics looks good indeed, gateways are online 
and static routes are up however whatever I do the default gateway is used!  I 
am running traceroute/tracepath from clients behind the firewall and from 
pfSense WAN itself but it always uses default gateway and ignores active second 
gateway and static rules.  I have tried to reboot pfSense of course however the 
issue remains.

Anyone have any suggestion? How I may verbosely debug static routing?



Cheers,
Oleg
