Thank you, that was exactly what I was looking for. I have set up OSPF with BFD on both nodes, so the service is up and running and seems to communicate with each other, but I still loose internet when disconnecting WAN on the master node, so there is no rerouting to node 2 and I am trying to figure out what may be wrong. First of all, is it sufficient for me to use OSPF with BFD or do I need to setup BGP to achive this? This is only for a small homelab, so I am not trying to make this more complex than necessary and I understand BGP can be quite complex.

As I understand, HA CARP only detects when LAN interface is down.
Gateway and ip monitoring is for multi-wan, but I can`t set gateway groups with only one wan port on my node so multi wan is not an option for me.
My goal is to have continous internet connection. I have two different ISPs connected to each node which is in cluster. If my main ISP is disconnected, I want my other node/secondary ISP to automaticly take over.
Somebody mentioned dynamic routing. Is this the best way to achieve that with my 2 nic setup??

I am running opnsense on two proxmox nodes, both have 1 WAN and 1 LAN port each. WAN on both nodes are connected to a switch, which is connected to a fiber modem (bridge). I get two public ips from my ISP so each node has its own IP and both are online and have internet. It should be setup correctly. I also setup monitor IP 1.1.1.1 on wan, on both nodes. When I unplug, the WAN interface is still registered as up, while in gateway configuration WAN_DHCP is registered as down.
I have configured CARP VIP LAN 192.168.1.1 on both nodes. HA works and I am able to sync configurations. Master VHID 1 (freq. 1/0), backup VHID 1  (freq. 1/100).
The node does not seem to know that the WAN is unplugged, because the interfase is still up.

I`m starting to wonder if this has something to do with proxmox bridging NIC to vmbr0, and vmbr0 always think link status is connected even when disconnected.

I run OPNsense on two separate nodes, both receive their own public ip from my ISP. Enabled high availability and CARP. If I shut down the master node, the backup node immediately becomes the master and resumes the internet connection after just a few secs. However, if I unplug the ethernet cable (instead of powering down the master node), the node is still listed as the master node and the backup node still remain backup causing me to loose internet connection. How can I fix this?
