General Discussion / Getting Traffic Shaping working with Multi WAN Failover
« on: January 24, 2018, 05:14:22 pm »
Hi all,
I am new to opn, but have quite a bit of experience with the BSDs. I am trying to use opn to both provide me with multi WAN failover and Traffic Shaping for a Guest network. They each work fine on their own, but when I attempt to configure them together the Traffic Shaping stops working.
I followed this documentation https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/guestnet.html with the exception of captive portal and then configured the Failover using this documentation https://wiki.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/multiwan.html
The problem is as soon as I change the allow all Firewall rule on the Guest network to use the redundant Gateway Group, the Traffic Shaping stops working and allows full use of the upload pipe. I ran ipfw show in console and see where the pipe no longer receives any traffic either, which explains why it is not working.
I assume that the gateway group is now using a different interface and is not getting a match from the firewall Traffic Shaper rules that I had set up previously. If I set the allow all Firewall rule on the Guest network back to use the "default" Gateway, traffic shaping works, but then of course I lose redundancy.
Any ideas on how to get them both to work together?
Thank you!
