Title: Loadbalancing not working properly anymore after gateway downtime
Post by: DoomSalamander on June 12, 2021, 06:26:51 am

Hello,
I am using Multiwan with a PPPoE Telekom and DHCP Unitymedia connection and recently I have noticed when the DCHP gateway goes down it doesn't always loadbalance or use specified gateway properly anymore. This happens after some time. Maybe every 24 or so I am not sure yet. I have set up to use HTTPS to use the Unitymedia line and when this issue happens it switches to the Telekom line like it should (By checking the IP online) but doesn't switch back and load balancing gateway group rules doesn't work too anymore. When I log into OPNSense I then see both gateways up and running.

I have to change anything in the Firewall to fix this like enabling shared forwarding or editing a rule. I have the disable force gateway option enabled and have set up the gateways groups in the rules to use with monitoring enabled. Which logs would help to get to the root of the problem?

Hi... same issue but after last upgrade...I have V 21.7.4 now .. after this upgrade the rules not route the outbound traffic to the gateway specified into FIREWALL RULES..

Before this upgrade i had some internal IP addresses  that route to GTW 1.. and others to GTW 2...
Now all the traffic is pointed to the Upstream GTW... by default..
any  ideas??
Thanks
