Description

I have sticky connections enabled and have been having issues browsing more than one site that requires me to login (one site is owned and operated on my own server at a separate location and only has 1 IP address) but keep getting thrown back to the login screen. This has also been happening on banking websites and others.

I have confirmed on my own remote server that it is due to the IP changing and as said I have sticky connections enabled.

This happens within a minute or two so it's not due to the states but I tried setting it to 1200 seconds, killing states and browser sessions to be sure and trying again. But still no luck it still happens.

To confirm my setup I have 2 Fibre connections in the UK and they are not dropping out and are very stable and the following settings are set:
System > Routing > Gateways > Default gateway IPv4: LoadBalance (Load Balancing Group)
System > Routing > Gateways > Gateway Groups: Group Name: LoadBalance - Priority: Both set to: Tier 1 - Trigger Level: Trigger Level
Firewall > Rulesc > vLAN 1 > Outbound Rule set to: LoadBalance Group

Thanks.

To clarify when I said, "it's not due to the states but I tried setting it to 1200 seconds", I was referring to the "source tracking timeout for sticky connections" setting.
