Gateway failover / Manual NAT

Hello,

Looking to setup gateway fail over - did it on PFSense via static routes to the next hop however want to set it up properly. Have a backup LTE connection however have a SIP trunk that has to go out the fix broadband line - this is has a manual NAT setup to mask the traffic. Basically want to pass all traffic other than that over the LTE when the gateway is experiencing packet loss (currently have a flapping line) however still route the VOIP via the WAN.

Any suggestions?

Following the same instructions for the Failover and using Policy based routing should work, based on what I can interpret from your request.
You can create an alias group or VLAN for the VoIP stuff and then create a LAN rule that uses the desired gateway and not the failover gateway group.  Put the SIP/VoIP rule above your main LAN rule.

Hello,

I tried this however on the LAN rule outbound it will only allow a Gateway for an Inbound request not outbound - any ideas?


The rule should be IN - traffic coming from the VOIP clients into the LAN interface. Most if not all rules you create should be IN
