Pfsense and Connectify (Speedify) - Bonding slow FTTC and 4G
-
Setup a Pfsense router (mini PC with 4 Lan ports) as needed to see what was hogging most of my FTTC connection.. I get 18mb and a couple of devices on the network was sucking most of my rubbish bandwidth. Pfsense helped identify and control the network a little better.
Next up I’ve purchased a 4G modem, turns out I can get 70mb with EE. I tried to bond with Pfsense but as you all know it only does load balancing and not bonding.
Been doing some research on Connectify, I’ve used Speedify before and its worked well. I have a mini PC, with three network adapters ( 4G modem, FTTC, Connectify Routed Port). I want to use Connectify to bond my FTTC and 4G via my Mini PC and then push this to my Pfsense router. Struggling to get my head around setting it up with my Pfsense router, I want this router to terminate the FTTC connection with my modem, I don’t want to use a BT homeHub or similar. The trouble is I am then pushing the connection back to my Connectify pc to bond it with my 4G and then throw it back at the PfSense router as another WAN to push out to my network.
Help… Thanks

You probably can do that but why not just terminate the FTTC connection on the Connectify device?
Passing that traffic twice through pfSense seems like a waste of CPU cycles. Though at 18Mbps it's unlikely to trouble anything.Steve

Hello my friend.
I need his help.I have the same problem. how did you manage to solve it?
I want to mount using my servers, I no longer want to pay for this Speedify service.

pfSense cannot bond separate WANs at layer2 like that.

Hello,
What would the suggestion be?
I have a mini itx with 2 lte 4g modems and two internet ports on Wan/LAN
in another city, I have a server with a dedicated ip (public)
I wanted to put him to do the service in place of Speedify.
Any alternative?
Sorry for the English, I speak Portuguese and I use Google translator.

Not with pfSense. Not if you actually want to be able to use both 4G links for a single connection.
