24.1 Production Series / Multi-WAN not failing gateways back after uplink returns
« on: May 23, 2024, 09:42:11 am »
I have a multi-WAN setup with two ISPs, which has been running for about 2 years on 23.x. I hadn’t noticed this issue after upgrading to 24.x, since my Starlink has been stable. Recently, it was bouncing around for some cosmic reason.
My setup is two groups, where I split work traffic to one uplink (with failover set to the other uplink), and the rest of the home traffic to the other uplink (with failover set to the other uplink). Failover seems to work fine, sort of, but failback doesn’t. I either have to reboot the firewall, or I make some change to the Firewall rules, or Gateway config, and then return it to the original config, and Apply. That seems to reapply the setup. But something definitely changed between 23.x and 24.x with the automatic failover.
I’m hoping someone has insight why this failback seems to be broken. If it’s a known issue, I couldn’t find anything in forums. Or if it’s something I can provide additional info on, let me know.
