Multi-WAN Gateway Group help

[quinc]

Hi there,

Looking for a bit of help on setting up gateway groups with 2 WAN interfaces and their respective gateways.

So I have created two WAN interfaces, both PPPoE, and OPNsense automatically creates a gateway for the one that is defined as WAN (as opposed to OPT1). I cannot get OPNsense to automatically create a gateway for the second WAN interface (OPT1), and when I create one manually, the gateway will never come online, even though the interface shows that it is connected. What I'm trying to do is load balance between both the WAN connections, but as only one is coming online, this is proving difficult

Any ideas?

You need to manually created second gateway and for both allow monitoring (by configuring them correctly). Then group them and remember to create fw rule for dns (step 5) after setting priority for group.

Can't find the english language version anymore, but I found this guide invaluable:
