Hello.
Running opnsense 24.1.2 learning Multiwan setup.
OPNsense 24.1.2_1-amd64
WAN1(pppoe)/WAN2(dhcp)
1) Under nat outbound I detect that went I add my 2nd wan, the system didnt create the Nat outbound rules, this is correct? I manually did, done.
2) Under wan1 nat outbound, wan2 appear in the list of src, lan,loopback and wan2, is correct?

Ah crap, something I can comment on because I have been struggling with multi wan for the past several days!!
1. When I was messing with NAT rules, the first WAN that was set up in the wizard would show up regardless of how it was set up, static, DHCP (the only 2 I tried). In my case, if I would add a second WAN, it would only auto populate if I set up the new WAN as DHCP. No clue why, but I would have to manually add the second WAN NAT rules. I just mimicked WAN1 set up for WAN2, and I was good to go.
2. Did you go back in a select the WAN2 gateway as the gateway in the WAN2 interface? I just set up a second WAN to see what happens, and it pulls that WAN2 out of the source networks.
Well now this is confusing, when I did it this time, it did automatically make WAN2 NAT rules. So cool, I'm confusing myself.
Something to note that I'm running into, if your end goal is to have 2 GW to decide what clients go over what via some rules in your LAN, mine would drop DNS and no longer allow access to the internet. I don't understand all of this enough to know what's all happening, but just something to look out for.

My goal is to understand how it works, yes the plan is setup a LoadBalance/FailOver, looks like is working.
Related to question 2, no, I didn't do that.
I will check the DNS and see if is working well and let u know, thanks buddy!!
