Description

Hi there, I've got a Gateway Group containing my WAN (VDSL with PPPoE) on Tier 1 and my 2nd WAN (LTE Modem) on Tier 2.
The Failover from Tier 1 to Tier 2 works flawlessly, but the "recovery" or failback to Tier 1 seems to be flawed.

If Tier 1 (VDSL with PPPoE) fails, all traffic (Wireguard in that case) will almost immediately be routed through Tier 2 (LTE Modem).
If Tier 1 comes back up, Status - Gateways - Gateway Groups even shows that change, the traffic will still flow through Tier 2.
By the way: This Gateway Group is set as my default gateway.

Diagnosis:
I've put 2 additional lines in /etc/rc.gateway_alarm.

echo "$GW" >> /tmp/test
echo "$alarm_flag" >> /tmp/test

Here is the output if Tier 1 fails:
WAN_PPPOE
1

but there's no output if Tier 1 comes back up.

I GUESS rc.gateway_alarm doesn't get triggered, and I GUESS this only happens if the IP on the PPPoE interface didn't change.

The only way for me to force traffic back through Tier 1 is to disable or unplug the interface on Tier 2.

This only happens on the PPPoE Interface, the other Interfaces act as expected.

You need to install the System Patches pkg:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/development/system-patches.html

and apply patch id ec73bb89489d830ec21c4e04ffa3ec401791b55d
and c467ca2f35c102aae897424a2fda08e9b2ace673

Sadly, after applying those patches, the problem still persists.
Is there any way I could help you to narrow it down?

ec73bb89489d830ec21c4e04ffa3ec401791b55d and c467ca2f35c102aae897424a2fda08e9b2ace673 actually solve the issue that the PPPoE Interface won't become the default gateway, again, after getting a new IP.
Thanks for that =)
What's missing is a way to restart the wireguard services automatically afterwards.

There have been a lot of changes here since the last comment and it's not clear if this should be marked resolved or not.

From the comments it looks like the base system may be OK now but just that one package might not be working right? Would help to test this again and confirm if the problem still happens on a current snapshot.

Ran some tests just now and services are restarted when the interface (re)connects (gets its address) and the rules recover when the gateway comes back up. As far as I can tell it's doing everything correctly here now.
