      Would be possible to habe just one Wan with subinterfaces? Becuase the  physical limit i  only have  3 wans, but i need more bandwith, so one solution could be many connections from differents providers connected to one switch with the  pf wan`s all together, and each subinterface with different ip range.

      thanks in advance

      Diego

        If your switch is VLAN capable you can configure it as seperate VLAN nterfaces running at one physical NIC at the pfSense.

          Why do you need so many WAN interfaces. You can get an internet connection with 15mb downstream and 2-5mb up. With 2 or 3 of those thats more than enough for 250 people.

            He never mentioned usage pattern :)  In a corporate environment, that's probably correct.  In a apartment, I can see the bandwidth getting eaten up fast by people watching streaming pr0n.

                I noticed this thing on the page of "recommended vendors".  Has anyone tried to make it do 5 WAN connections?

                  I don't see why it shouldn't work and this device has some horsepower too, so depending on the bandwidth of your wans it will be a very nice platform for multiwan.

                    This unit works quite well.  Go for it.

                        Hi All,

                        I have configured my pf with vlans on Wan interface, and works perfectly, now i can add more wans without physical limits.

                        Regards

                        Diego
