Another MULTIWAN issue 16.7 & 17.x

[rackg]

I have two WAN links

WAN1: PPPoE (default) 4Mbps
WAN2: Static IP (~4Mbps to 11Mbps)

MULTIWANGRP = WAN1 (Tier1)+WAN2 (Tier1) & Trigger=PacketLoss

I have setup everything as per how-to document. DNS rule , Firewall RULE for ipv Gateway to MULTIWANGRP. The issue as follows

When my firewall boots up the the Internet start working  from WAN2 for my LAN. After the PPPoE comes up on WAN1 the Internet bandwidth is still not aggregated as speed always stay to 4Mbps.  Looks like the second WAN2 is not getting any traffic load shared.

My ethernet is EM interfaces i have fixed the kmod Intel-driver. Searching  Forum reported isues very closer as follows

Was thinking to go to 16.1 (legacy) but there also some issues reported w.r.t WAN PPPoE
https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/850

Not sure what is blocking MULTI WAN to work. Any help

[rackg]

I have changed WAN1 from PPPoE to LAN link, the issue remains same. I have my system updated with 16.7 latest no luck.
Wanted to hear from the forum which Opnsense release i can try to get this working?
What more information that I can share to get this working?

i never had multi WAN working , and tried to configure it for like 10 time,
its never worked,
i had the same issue with one of our customer, waiting and hoping some fix will shows up soon.

Thanks julien.  I tried this in all possible ways and no luck .

I have seen few threads in 16.1 Legacy release it worked and people had some other issue with NAT. 
Just searching for a build version where it worked ! Can some one shed light here for a working build version ?

hopefully this build will breng a fix .

Thanks Julien.

Admins-
Does opnsense keep track of bugs/issues?  Do you have any existing bug number for this issue ?

Hi rackg,

I'm not sure about the bug, it seems to be related to the configuration and I don't recall any issues with load-balancing in general. "Packetloss" sounds like a hard requirement to switch over, not typically fair load-balance between two gateways used at the same time.

There are some thing things that we are working on, mainly Multi-WAN + Captive Portal, but doesn't look like the same group of problems.

The bug tracker is here:

Thanks Franco.

I am puzzled now, I have followed exact steps mentioned here (even started with config default).

https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/multiwan.html

If i have to explain bit more here is what my setup looks like

192.168.30.10 (Firewall LAN)
192.168.2.1 (WAN1)
192.168.1.1 (WAN 2)

I have not setup any other services , as its a default configuration then followed up with Setup-wizard - > Interface assign& configure -> WAN grouping that's all. (pretty much light weight config)

Do you want to have a look at my configuration dump ?

[franco]

The only visible piece that sticks out is the requirement of having both gateways on the same tier in order for load balancing to apply. I've asked for the rules dump from the system to see if it gets applied or not.

Hi Franco,
i am not trying to spam someone else post, if you get a chance can you please check my Multi WAN issue ?

Franco,
I have sent you the dump of rule thru PM, Looks to me there is some issue in the core. The second gateway is not getting load even i set the Weight as 2, the situation became worsen.
