      Hi All,

      We have an Ipsec vpn configured on the existing WAN connection.

      With so many people working from home our little broadband connection is creaking at the seams.

      I have a second broadband connection which I thought I could setup as a second gateway for failover mainly, but now I'm wondering if I can also / instead of use it as a second inbound ipsec VPN connection.

      Can anyone tell me if this is possible? If so are there any guides I could follow to set this up ?

      thanks in advance,

      Paul.

        Yes, you can do that. Just set the IPSec tunnel to use the 2nd WAN interface. The other end of the tunnel would obviously have to be set to the new WAN IP also.
