Just implemented dual WAN with pfsense, as the primary firewall gateway in our company in place of IPcop. Its working beautifully. My thanks to the developers and the community.
Some questions...just so I get future direction. - I see that only the primary WAN has pppoe...when can we expect all links designated WANs to have this facility, as per present development roadmap? - Does the second wan inherit the traffic shaping defined for the primary WAN or does the second or third WAN have no traffic shaping? - Any pointer to someone who has implemented snort based IDS/IPS onto a multi-WAN pfsense network...what are the main issues in this? I want to implement an IDS/IPS that can sniff all network segments. Request pointers. - What is the periodicity of the ping for IP monitoring puropses? I am getting logs of link down and up again...though I am not noticing any problem with internet browsing maybe due to WANs being dual and the link coming back in seconds. I think the the ISP gateway being pinged is responding a bit slow sometimes and pfsense is marking it as net down...what is the workaround for this? - What happens when the gateway link fails in case of policy based routing...is it routed through the other gateway or does the link fail for that policy e.g. mail through GW1? - Any writeup of someone integrating radius or user database with pfsense. Any real-life examples of Captive Portal? How & where is this feature to be used? Is there any backend software for actual user management of such a service, with radius/ldap or database? With regards. Sanjay.
