Hello! First of all, does pfSense support - pptp vpn interfaces as WAN - more than one(I need 8) pptp vpn interface as WAN ? It is known that http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/What_about_using_multiple_WAN_connections%3F "Multiple WAN connections are supported under some circumstances. Only one WAN connection can be PPPoE, BigPond, or PPTP. The rest must be static IP or DHCP."
Is there a workaround to connect all 8 pptp connections from pfSense simultaneously? -----Original Message----- From: Michael Smirnov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Date: Sat, 10 May 2008 19:39:47 +0400 Subject: [pfSense Support] multiple WAN load-balancing (aggregating/combining the speed) > > Hello! > Please help me with this multiple WAN load-balancing > (aggregating/combining the speed). > > Our second office is located in a place, > where ISPs only provide slow unlimited Internet > traffic with speed not more than 128 Kbps. > So, our office is now connected that way: > We have bought several unlimited internet logins, 128Kbps each (VPN - pptp). > and use a bundle of route rules. > > I tested the vpn connectivity to pptp server on main office, it worked. > Note that we didn't buy an external IP-addresses from our ISP (ISP does NAT > for us). > So, our ISP doesn't block GRE, > and even such a complex thing - "pptp through NAT over pptp" works, but the > speed is 128kbps. > > Since GRE is not port-based, and all our connections have the same IP-address > (ISP's NAT server), > I'll try a pfSense to send GRE packets to our main VPN server over the > Internet over all our ISP's connections in round-robins style, to combine > their speed. > It will probably combine ONLY outbound speed of our channels, but it is > better than nothing. > > Does this "outbound speed combining solution" > seem to work, and possible with pfSense? > Notice that: > - our ISP's pptp connections are with no encryption > - pptp connection to our main office > should be with MPPE 128bit (security...). > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
