PfSense chaining (sort of)
-
Hi,
I'm running a ESXi server with currently one pfSense install. It's configured with the DNS server, DHCP server and Squid running in transparant proxy mode.
I'm thinking of solving the transparant proxy / traffic shaping problems with chaining 2 pfSense installs, the scheme would look something like this:
WWW -> pfSense QoS -> pfSense Squid/DNS/DHCP -> LAN
pfSense Qos WAN : PPPoE
pfsense Qos LAN : 192.168.1.3pfsense Squid WAN: 192.168.1.2 DG: 192.168.1.3
pfsense Squid LAN: 192.168.1. (DG for my clients)Would this work? These addresses are examples, but would it work in this configuration?
Should I configure my clients with DG .3 or .1 ?Thanks for helping me out!
