2 WAN connections, same gateway on both?!?!
-
Hi,
Trying to use two WAN cable connections, just want to use one for certain services (HTTP; etc) and the other one for other services, so just need (in theory) to setup NAT and Firewalling.
Problem is no incoming connection passes through the second one, and seems source routing is not cutting it because on both WANs the next hop router is the same (both cable connections with the same provider).
Is there any workaround for this?

put a cheap nat router in between

That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid, using the routers from the telco in "router" mode.
I'm using them in bridge mode…

pfsense does not support multiple wans with the same gateway address. There are no plans for the near future to implement this as far as i know.
so you only have 3 options if you want to use pfsense:
-
put a cheap router in between
-
ask isp to move one of your lines to a different gateway
-
change isp's

thanks for your answer, heper!
I already asked the ISP to move the second router to a different gateway… with null results.
Sadly, using another provider is not possible due to location availability.
I tried setting the second line statically, specifying a different gateway (after lurking a little and some guessing), set a static route to reach that gateway through the interface IP, and it worked fine... until some hours later when guess a vigilant tech noticed that and blocked me from using it :(
So... I have two options; using another pfsense box, which will add complexity and wouldn't be as clean as a single box, apart from being less flexible.
And another, maybe using some kind of virtual interfaces VLANs "magic" to sort it out?
