Feedback on Setup: Dual WAN (both /29) - How should I handle Public wifi Traffic
-
I'm moving us to a dual wan setup and wanting some feedback on how you would configure this setup.
- Cable 15x2 ('secondary')
- Fiber to Ethernet 20x20 (primary)
Currently the secondary is for public wifi use only (captive portal is wonderful).
The primary is for business only nodes.
Failover is 'manual' (moving cords)
I'm wanting to have auto failover. (dual-wan) For simplicity I was thinking to setup Dual WAN and set the public wifi VLAN to a low traffic priority. Or should I force routing of Public traffic to the secondary ?
Thoughts?
Thinking out loud:
- Two pfsense boxes: Front end managing IP's / routing / filtering and the second box managing squid caching.
OR - Single box, four NIC's. Dual WAN. No Squid.
I plan to use pfBlockerNG / OpenVPN (1 client 1 site to site) / squid optional?
More info: I rarely see latency on either line. The public wifi will peak at 100 devices (logged in). I have more questions, but I'll parse to new threads to keep things simple.
Thanks!
