hye there,
i just wanna ask, whether it is possible to configure 2 pfsense firewall to become as an active/active redundant  firewall.
As my reading through all the pfsense documentation page, it only state on how to configure the pfsense as one firewall active and another one as a standby(backup) firewall. Means that only the 1 firewall is active on one time, not both. can someone clarify to me regarding this thing. any reply will be highly appreciated.

You can balance firewall work when using packages. Use nat/firewall on box1 and squid on box2 for example.

The active/active firewall can be done with carps, but its not desiged for it so, not supported.
