ok, i just tested with sticky connections turned off and as you suggested, it did give the behaviour i was expecting.

given the sticky connections is probably what one needs to ensure websites keep working, how do you recommend testing if the load balancing is actually working?

Hi,

I've tried setting up load balancing with my 2 ADSL connections as per the multi wan setup instructions. I set both WANs to the same tier but I don't see much in the way of "load balancing" it seems to always favour one of the WANs.

How does one test this to make sure its working as it is supposed to?

In https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=3969.msg14151#msg14151 Franco states that its just round robin per connection, bit I don't think mine is even acheiving that. For example, If i do:
curl ipinfo.io/ip repeatedly, I'd expect it to get different WAN IPs from time to time as it would be sending out the request from one of the two WANs, but it seems to always get the same IP.

Any tips would be appreciated

I don't suppose you have any pointers on configuring this manually?

Hi,

I have a PCEngines device with 3 ethernet ports. I wan to have 1 port for WAN, one for LAN and the last port to be a trunk with 2 VLANs, one vlan for the same traffic as LAN and one for the GUEST traffic. How do I go about configuring that?

I have tried to add multiple ports to 1 interface but afaict, that can't be done. I then thought I could make a bridge with LAN and GUEST on it, but that doesn't seem right to me. What am I missing?

Hi Bart,

Gah! I stared at that screen for ages and didn't manage to see those little arrows. Thanks for pointing me the way.

hi,

Is it possible to re-arrange the firewall rule order? I added a new pass rule and I want it to appear before the block rules but I can't see a way to do it. Using OPNSense 17.7.5
