Gateway Recovery - something OPNSense has?

[pricklydevil]

Hi,

Used to be longtime user of OPN and then had to switch back for historical reasons but now very much looking to come back!

Does OPN have support in a similar vein to what pf now has with the gateway recovery? Essentially two WANs - one hard downs and fails over to the backup but the transition never goes back to the primary by killing states etc. therefore you're on the 2nd WAN which may have slower throughput, bandwidth limitations, increased costs, etc.

They announced at https://www.netgate.com/blog/netgate-to-enhance-gateway-recovery-in-pfsense-plus-version-24.03 so wondered if this is available as I'd rather pay OPN/Deciso the money

you can do this with the tiered approach for multiwan..


Tier 1: your fast WAN01
Tier 2: your slow, costly WAN02

Set your decision to work on e.g. packetloss / latency -> goes to Tier2 on error condition.
If Tier 1 improves again: switches back.

Edit:just realised, you also want to _kill_ the existing states on WAN02, giving it a hard kick back to WAN01 right? That isn't there.

Yep it's the killing states element that is the missing part. I guess this could be achieved through some kind of script/automation once WAN01 is re-established (either through DPinger or something aligned with that).

Is there a way to request a feature these days apart from the forum?
