-
Hi,
I am new to Pf sense. so i wanted to know that before i start installing and config is this possible with below details,
I have 2 broadband connection
2 Network cards ( one for LAN and WAN connected to isolated 8 port switch with 2 broadband connections )
one public IP given by ISP1 with their broadband connection
P4 machine with 512MB RAMI need to enable these pf sense features,
- load balancing and fail over on 2 broadband connections
- NAT with inbound port forwards to 3 production servers to access from internet with public IP given by ISP1
- reporting & bandwidth usage of uses
- DHCP , DNS forwarder , NTOP
- VPN access(OPENVPN) with public IP by ISP1 from internet.
I want to know, is this design possible or not? if not what are the drawbacks with this design.
THANKS

If you are talking more then one IP, then I believe you need the paid version?

There is no paid version. You get everything. :)
It's not clear tome how your two WAN connections are connected. What sort of broadband connections are they?

Ok, so you have two DSL modems? Two routers?
You say they are both connected via a single NIC using a switch? I don't think you can do pppoe directly from the pfSense box in that setup. You can do two subnets and static ips behind routers but that's also 'unconventional'. It would be better to have 3 NICs.Steve
