Multiple WAN to multiple LAN and load balance

Hello,

I have 4 ISP's with BGP, each ISP have 1Gbps guaranteed(contract). Now i know that the server that is installed PFSense have 1Gbps ports, how i can use the full speed from all ISP's ?
I have added to the PFSense server another network card with 4 x 1Gbps ports. And i have link that ports with my switch(Cat 7 cables), but how i can direct traffic to all that ports ? not only the LAN port to use the full speed of ISPs, not only 1Gbps.

I want to create something like this:

We have 4 BGPs.
We have ISP interfaces :

ISP 1 (1Gbps) - WAN1
ISP 2 (1Gbps) - WAN2
ISP 3 (1Gbps) - WAN3
ISP 4 (1Gbps) - WAN4

and lan interfaces that are going from PFSense to switch:

PFSense LAN1 -> Switch Port 1
PFSense LAN2 -> Switch Port 2
PFSense LAN3 -> Switch Port 3
PFSense LAN4 -> Switch Port 4

We have a public class x.x.x.x/24 that it's setup on LAN1

How can i make this configuration ? :
WAN1 -> LAN1 , LAN2 , LAN3, LAN4
WAN2 -> LAN1 , LAN2 , LAN3, LAN4
WAN3 -> LAN1 , LAN2 , LAN3, LAN4
WAN4 -> LAN1 , LAN2 , LAN3, LAN4

Because if im using only:
WAN1 -> LAN1
WAN2 -> LAN1
WAN3 -> LAN1
WAN4 -> LAN1

Then we have only 1Gbps not 4Gbps that i have from providers because of port limit 1Gbps port.
And i wanna have load balance and failover.

pfsense or OPNsense?
You might be on the wrong forum.

The implementation is also different between both products - even if both are based on FRR. The os-frr plugin has been written from scratch by Michael and me.

I dont get the point? From my understanding you have have to bundle LAN1-4 to a LAGG with LACP to achieve 4GBit (in theory).
