Wiki LoadBal example not working SSL

RouterOS General
1

I’ve implemented the Load Balancing example as in :
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Load_Balancing
and although it says:"With NAT and policy routing, with working HTTPS, IM and large downloads "
sorry to say that’s not true. Any sites that require a loging just won’t work and that’s a lot of webmail sites, website management control panels. People are complaining from all over the place.

PLEASE HELP ANYONE:
What’s the solution to fix this example or some other Load balancing solution?

Try to use this example,

It uses gateway for user for specific time.

Thanks Sergjejs,
but this will mean that large multi-part downloads will all be routed through 1 gateway, losing speed advantage of load balance.

A similar setup but that handle IP-pair coupled with port will be 100%. So if connection is between IPA & IPB on port 443, then route through gateway1, otherwise just distribute evenly. That will give speed adavntage but still help thoses breaking sites?

B) Where can I setup an address-list? I want to create a list of sites and make my rules force listA through gatewayA, etc. and unknown sites balanced between the rest.

Thanks again for your help. Eventually I’ll get this load balancing right. I have a Linksys RV016 that is working fine, but need to replace with MT…

if you have 20-50 users - yes
if you have 200-500 users - you will not take notice of this. statistics =))

About 120 users, in a statistical black-hole :wink:)

Since I’m using a 4-WAN LoadBalance, I kept the config as-is, but added on top of the list a connection and then routing mark to mark all traffic to go through WAN4 that is destined for port 443 and it’s working just fine now!
So basically everything is Load Balanced except for port 443 traffic, which always go through WAN4.

Yeah, at long last.
