MultiWAN: Access explicity to network of WAN2

Hello I just set up MultiWAN Group with WAN as Tier1 and WAN2 as Tier2 and defined monitoring for both interfaces. I also changed the Gateway to MultiWAN Group for the rule for LAN.

I'm still online, and everything is fine (over WAN). Currently WAN2 is not online yet (its new and a technician is on the way here, to set up the phone line). Well, I'd like to access the Router of WAN2, so I can setup it from LAN network. OPNsense is able to ping the router connected at WAN2.

But I'm routed to WAN instead to WAN2 from LAN. I found out this with the help of traceroute:
traceroute 192.168.188.1
traceroute to 192.168.188.1 (192.168.188.1), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets
1  opnsense (192.168.100.1)  0.792 ms  0.165 ms  0.153 ms
2  fritz.box (192.168.178.1)  1.336 ms  0.727 ms  1.388 ms

There you see, the traceroute went to 192.168.178.1 which is WAN.
WAN = 192.168.178.1/24
WAN2 = 192.168.188.1/24

I'd expect, if I use destination address which is in network range of WAN2, then opensense would route to WAN2 no matter if the gateway of WAN2 is down.

Hi everybody.

So no idea yet? I've set up 2 routes:

  • 192.168.178.1/24 to WAN
  • 192.168.188.1/24 to WAN2

But still only one of both Gateway is accesible so the route setting didn't help.

Really nobody with an idea? Or is this a missing feature of OPNSense?

Best regards
