Currently on Opnsense 25.7.7 or baremetal.  I have 2 ISP's one Fiber, one cable, one one igc0, and the other on igc2 interfaces, both are up. i have gateway->configuration setup for each connection and a gateway group setup

I have a few VLANs for IOT Devices, streaming,server,storage and user vlans setup apart from the core LAN.

I also run AdGuard Home the plugin on port 53, and unbound for all internal vlans on an another port.

Priority: Both are set to Tier 1
Trigger Group: Packet Loss and High Latency
Pool Options: Round Robin with Sticky Address

Under Firewall-Settings-> Advanced: under the Multi-Wan Section: i have only the sticky connections checked.

Also under System ->General-> setting i have use gateway switching turned on.

Failover works when i unplug or turn off one wan interface, but load balancing or any policy based rules for a particular vlan to use the alternate gateway does not work

I also have on my Lan rules the DNS above the rule to any any with the loadbalanced gateway. i also had to add http,https with default gateway to allow traffic  out on 80,443

I followed the guide https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/multiwan.html but unable to loadbalance across the 2 ISP's

Also my NAT->Outbound is set to Automatic Outbound, have tried both Hybdrid Outbound as well with no change.

been trying this out for a couple of days, would like to know if anyone has pointers or a help me get this working.








Did you set in the LAN default any to any rule the WAN_GROUP as Gateway?

It points to the default gateway in default settings.
