      Hi,

      I'm desperately looking for a solution and I keep seeing old posts with none in them.

      I have an ISP that throttles my international bandwidth hard (because i'm on residential internet 20/2 I get 0.4 sometimes)
      My work ISP does not do that. I routinely connect my PC to my workplace (100/20) and enjoy unthrottled internet (yay for loopholes)

      I purchased a Qotom device (celeron no aesni / 4 lan model) recently for the purpose of doing that for the whole house.

      So I'd like to either

      home lan (192.168.0.0/24) –> pfsensebox ----> ISP router (192.168.1.0/24) =====vpn (0.0.0.0/0)=====> workplace vpn server ---> uncapped internet

      I know pptp is hated here (which is what I was using so far) but I could setup L2TP/IPSEC (it's a windows server 2k8r2 over there)

      I feel like every admin here prefers openvpn so maybe I could do that on the server end.

      I'd like speeds to be decently close to 20/2 and latency kept to a minimum (I game quite often)

      Ideally I'd love it if I could configure one of the extra OPT ports to connect over vpn and be used as main gateway when they're up. Example, off peak time I can have the house be on our ISP (no vpn) and during peak time I can just plugin the cable in the opt1 port and everything goes over the vpn connection (meaning I dont have to be around for the wife to be able to enjoy a bit of netflix during peak hours)

      Thanks!

      (posted also here in case I posted in the wrong place before)

        No one? :(

        I (maybe wrongly) figured I'd try

        1. Interfaces> (Assign)
        2. PPPs > New (pptp)
        3. Link (tried both wan and lan), input one of the IP's I usually get from my server as local with /24 network mask. Gateway typed in the public IP of the pptp server
        4. Interface assignments > Assigned the pptp to OPT1
        5. Interfaces > OPT1. Enabled it
        6. Status > Interfaces. Hit connect.. nothing happens

        Am I on the right track here?
