I noticed an option in the pF interface to do such a thing, but figured I better check before I get into it too deep. Multi-WAN requires policy routing. Policy routing requires pf. If you disable the filter, you won't be able to policy route, so multi-WAN won't function. Unless you implement static routing to do what you desire, or use RIP or the BGP package. Still won't allow policy routing, but either will give you options to use multi-WAN without pf's policy routing. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [pfSense Support] Multi Link Router instead of Firewall
it should. in simplest terms, a router passes all, a firewall blocks all. same actual packet routing occurs.

[pfSense Support] Multi Link Router instead of Firewall
Is it possible to setup a Multi WAN (Failover/Load Balance) configuration and bypass the Firewall? Basically setting the pf box up as a router and using another firewall behind the Pf box to act as a filter? I noticed an option in the pF interface to do such a thing, but figured I better check before I get into it too deep. Will it still function the same way?
