Re: [pfSense] MultiWAN: one for Skype and the other for the rest of the traffic

2011-10-07 Thread Greg Hennessy 
Apply the group policy ADM settings for Skype, works on all versions, turns off 
supernode and mitigates a lot of the other bandwidth eating/security risks.
Otherwise your firewall logs will just fill up with failed UDP egress attempts 
from everything running it.

You could also use the Business Edition of Skype, which does give you a lot 
more control over how it uses your network.  But then it’s not free, and I 
can’t imagine any other reason you’d want to use Skype.

Hi,
I´m trying to setup a pfsense 2.0 firewall connected to 2 DSL routers.
The purpose is to send Skype traffic via one DSL, and the rest of the traffic, 
via the other one.
Any ideas on how to achieve this?
Every PC located on local LAN could use skype so is not possible filter by

Becuase the crappy isp (Telus) only grants access once the IP is fetched from a 
 dhcp
server.

As far as I know, you cant have a vip thats dhcp based, or at least I dont 
think you can
have more than one dynamic ip per nic?

Thanks Scott and Tim,

If you just need to utilize the IPs, couldn't you use a Virtual IP? If they are 
reserved, I don't see a reason setting them up statically on your side would be 
an issue.

Put some kind of gateway in front of the other connection and nat back
to pfS so it has a diff gateway IP.  Otherwise I am not sure there are
any workarounds for this situation.

[pfSense] Multiwan with same gateway

2011-10-07 Thread Joseph L. Casale 

I have a situation where I need a multiple wan ip addresses, the site has 
several
reserved ip’s handed out by a dhcp server, but they all share the same gateway.

I'm not aware of any way this with multiple opt interfaces, a virtual ip won't 
work
as far as I know since its needs it ip dynamically assigned.

Any ideas around this scenario?

because skype uses basically random ports and random ips until it can establish 
a connection that is pretty hard.

If you think about it the other way, send skype out the default, then make a 
policy route for all the "normal" traffic like http and such you can indentify.

Note that this will not cover all cases since Skype will also use port 80 and 
443 if it has the chance which means it will go out the other direction too.

Cheers,

Not sure as the email you sent this from doesn't have an account. Send me
the address you've registered under.
