General Discussion / Re: OPNsense - Multi-WAN - established VPN connection still using Tier 2 Gateway
« on: January 04, 2024, 09:07:01 pm »
Same problem on multiple systems.
OPNsense 23.7.10_1-amd64
I think this is because gateway groups are not selectable in OpenVPN settings -> Interface. It is possible to set a gateway group in settings on pfSense, VPN is switching back to main from failover as expected.
I've read multiple forum posts with similar issues, it seems that common solution is to create separate client instances for every WAN and failover between them. Unfortunately this is not possible with my setup.
This could be solved by creating a cronjob that will ping via WAN and restart VPN instance if necessary, however in my book i'd call it an ugly hack.
Is there a reason why OPNsense will not allow setting OpenVPN interface as gateway group?

Igor
