Hello!

New dash is nice, and will no doubt improve over time. Here's a partial snap on my setup.

Maybe the next version of 'Gateways' widget showed:
- which gateways are currently 'active' (ref. multi-wan, gateway switching)
- some indicator on how many states/sessions or amount of traffic per gateway (ref multi-wan, round-robin)

Thanks.

Hello!

I have multi-wan setup with igb0 and igb2 as the upstream interfaces. Default gw is automatically switched between these two and all traffic from igb1, igb3 and igb4 is load-balanced out via gateway group called internet.

As igb0 and igb2 both have dynamic IP addresses, I am trying to get dyndns to update them to my domain but it seems the curl request gets routed out via default gateway, regardless of --interface and --dns-interface parameters. My dyndns service expects the update request to originate from the ip address mentioned in the update request.

Any hints on how to fix this?

Hello!

Had to add the --interface option for curl to get EuroDNS working on my Multi-WAN setup. See red bolded below.

            case 'eurodns':
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $this->_dnsUser.':'.$this->_dnsPass);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INTERFACE, $this->_dnsIP);
                $server = "https://update.eurodyndns.org/update/";
                $port = "";
                if ($this->_dnsPort) {
                    $port = ":" . $this->_dnsPort;
                }
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $server .$port . '?hostname=' . $this->_dnsHost . '&myip=' . $this->_dnsIP);
                break;

I've been reading more and it seems Windows and Linux can handle the 0.0.0.0 gateway faalback that OpenBSD (and OpnSense), it seems, cannot.

Hello!

I have a setup with two D-Link DWR-921 4G modems for multi-wan. I run them in "transparent proxy" mode to get my public IPs through to OpnSense. For this setup to work, I need to go in using ssh console and manually edit /conf/config.xml in order to set the gateway address for both modems to 0.0.0.0.

Don't really know the history of this, but apparently this is ok as per IPv4: "In the Internet Protocol version 4 the address 0.0.0.0 is a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown or non applicable target. To give a special meaning to an otherwise invalid piece of data is an application of in-band signaling." (see this: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/94018/what-is-the-meaning-of-0-0-0-0-as-a-gateway)

Of course I would not use this, but D-Link has chosen to implement their "transparent proxy" in a quirky way: it only passes the (DHCP) WAN IP address to OpnSense, not the WAN GW IP. So as a result, I have two WAN interfaces with gateway address 0.0.0.0 (which is fine by IPv4 I guess). This plays havok on multi-wan and gateway monitoring, perhaps the Dynamic DNS as well. The GUI cannot handle this situation either.

Would you guys consider working your magic to fix this? I can provide whatever log files you desire :)
