Tutorials and FAQs / Set gateway group as default gateway
« on: October 29, 2018, 07:08:22 pm »
Hi!
I found another thread asking this same question, and this appears to be an unresolved topic. However, it's worth asking again.
I have some special routing needs which necessitate the definition of gateways to handle the traffic. My problem is that the firewall won't select the correct gateway to the internet, and so it'll occasionally become isolated and won't be able to check for updates (for instance).
The rest of the traffic works and flows just fine, though.
There's only a checkbox to select a default gateway, but my problem is I have a multi-wan setup.
Is there a way to configure OPNSense and tell it, specifically, which gateways lead to the internet so that it can rotate through them in the event of circuit failure (i.e. failover)? Alternatively, is there a means to set a gateway group as the default gateway?
Thanks!
