How to simulate Daul-WAN in VirtualBox at home ?

[strannik]

I need to test a Dual-WAN pfsense before implementing it in production.

Is it possible to set this up in VirtualBox ?

Perhaps I could first split traffic into 2 subnets with VM router then I could use those as my virtual WAN-1 and WAN-2 for pfsense VM and one more VM as client on pfsense's LAN side ?

Any ideas ?

Yes, you should be able to do that. As long as the pfSense VM you're testing on has two gateways in different subnets multi-wan will work.

Thank you Steve
I found this Youtube video:

non-English but very good demonstration of the same idea

I already built it all in HW (no VirtualBox) : my home router allows me to set different subnets on each LAN port. So I just built a test pfsense box with 3 interfaces and hooked LAN side to the rest of my home network. That way I got a "Dual-WAN" setup
Everything work fine: I'm able to test Policy routing and manual NAT rules.
