Testing pfSense High Availability with PingPlotter

We look at packet loss and latency with PingPlotter when shutting down our "master" pfSense firewall and letting the "backup" server take over. We also shut down both firewalls, then boot the secondary first to make sure all works as expected.

Using CARP, VirtualIPs, pfsync, and XMLRPC sync, we can create a nearly undetectable handoff between firewalls.

Spoiler alert: everything works with only minimal loss, but you should still watch!

Thanks for watching!
