Hello Guys
I'm going crazy trying to set up multi-gateway OPNsense.
Let's say the IP address of 10.0.0.15 is the admin PC
Gateway 1 Default Gateway 8.8.8.8
Gateway 2 Backup Gateway 7.7.7.7
Admin PC needs to use Gateway 2 and not the default gateway
I have added the MAC address in Firewall > Aliases I added Alias as a host-name with Contact of MAC address
Then I added a firewall rule
So when I create a rule in Firewall > Rules > I added action > PASS > Source ADMIN PC > Selected Gateway 2
We get the IP of Gateway 2 of 7.7.7.7 but we lose access to Opnsense Web GUI
What do I need to add to be able to have second gateway and be able to access Opnsense GUI
