I am using pfsense as my home firewall and configured multi-wan setup.
In addition, I have installed package ‘Telegraf ‘ package for exporting my pfsense stats into InfluxDB, also in ‘Telegraf’ configuration I have enabled ‘Ping Monitor’ for 4 different hosts.
Since, all ping packets go through the default gateway and I wanted to create separate rule for each ping hosts to forward them manually.
My goal is to track latency of each gateway/wan so I can complain to my ISP with solid facts lol. Also, I need to track that pings before I play online competitive games, to make sure it does not ruin my game
But these firewall rules does not work. When I start download from my default (UzonlineGW) gateway, in my Grafana stats I can see that ping to all hosts increase equally.
Also when I traceroute to all 4 hosts from pfsense shell, pfsense uses my default gateway (UzonlineGW).
My first thought was, it might be because pfsense is not in LAN, but I am not sure about that.
What am I doing wrong?
