Greetings list, We have a number of pfSense boxes out there, usually with two ADSL connections into each. When we first started down the multi-WAN route, there was an issue with FTP, to which someone had rather helpfully posted a workaround on the forum: insert a rule on the LAN interface as follows: TCP LAN net * 127.0.0.1 * *
This works around the issue perfectly, provided the following are true: a) the client trying to access a remote FTP server is on the LAN interface b) the first WAN interface is up it does not work on any other interfaces apart from the first LAN interface (even with a similar rule on that interface as follows): TCP OPT1 net * 127.0.0.1 * * Nor does it work if WAN1 is down for whatever reason. So, a couple of questions for other multi-WAN users if I may: 1) is this workaround still necessary in more recent versions of pfSense (>=1.2.3)? 2) if so, is there any way to work around the two limitations above? Thanks in advance!
