OpenVPN + dynamic IP
-
Hi All,
I am newbie with pfSense. My condition is small network.
I want to use pfSense with OpenVPN to link main office and 2 branch.
At main office,
pfSense with 1 lan (192.168.10.0/24), 1 wan (fix IP address) and
2 servers behide pfSense.
At branch 1,
pfSense with 1 lan (192.168.11.0/24), 1 wan (192.168.1.2)
connect to Linksys RV042 Loadbalance Router (192.168.1.1) for 2 line of dynamic adsl.
In lan, I have 10 windows client to access 2 server at main office through OpenVPN.
At branch 2,
pfSense with 1 lan (192.168.12.0/24), 1 wan (192.168.1.2)
connect to Linksys RV042 Loadbalance Router (192.168.1.1) for 2 line of dynamic adsl.
In lan, I have 5 windows client to access 2 server at main office through OpenVPN.I have simple question ?. ??? ???
1. Is it possible to setup [OpenVPN + Loadbalance + Dynamic IP] from branch to main office ?.
2. What is best way for loadbalance for OpenVPN between loadbalance by pfSense or by hardware?
3. For loadbalance by pfSense, How to use 1 nic with multiple adsl modem ?.Any suggestion welcome, :D

1: I suppose it's possible. If one of the connections goes down your other balancer will put the attempt to reestablish the connection just on the second link.
2: I'm not sure what you're trying to ask.
Do you mean if it's better to let theRV042 do the loadbalancing or pfSense?
If you want failover for OpenVPN i think it's better to let the RV042 do the loadbalancing the job.
I dont think you can create failover-pools for pfSense itself, since pfSense uses outbound only its WAN for services running on it.3: search the multi-WAN forum. There are a few threads about this topic.
On thing i see is that you have on your off-sites the same IP-ranges.
I wouldnt do that. -
