[need help] 3G usb modem + wired with pfsense in virtualbox
-
Hi
I have a Ubuntu server running PFsense in Virtualbox. And I have a 3g usb modem that i would like to add to my internet connection.
I would like to know if it is possible for PFsense (in a virtualbox) to have 2 WAN connections (1 from cable, and 1 from 3g USB modem)? and then do load balancing?
If this is possible would anyone mind teaching me how to set this up? or if the solution has been done could anyone point me to the right thread? Been searching the forums for similar issues but got lost in the maze.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

If virtualbox can pass the USB device directly to pfSense, it should work, provided that the modem works with pfSense at all.
The setup would be the same as any other multi-wan setup or 3G setup, plenty of docs/examples around on the wiki and forum for both.
The problem might be getting the USB device to pass into the VM. I believe the OSE version of virtualbox can't do that but the precompiled binary package from Oracle can, unless they fixed that since I last tried it.
