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?
see attachment please.

That is all for now, thanks team  :)

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!!
