MultiWan - Redirecting traffic
-
Hey i currently have 2 isps
1.Amnet (DSL)
2.VividWireless (WiMAX)DSL upload in Australia is limited to 1mbit but vividwireless upload is over 4mbit
i want to use DSL for download and WiMAX for upload
anyway on doing this in Pfsense?
ive looked but can't find much -
No. You'll have different IP addresses on both WANs. WiMAX won't allow a DSL IP address to flow out from their network.
Additionally when a connection is made, PFSense has no way of knowing that you are planning to upload a large amount of data.

Thanks for the reply, is this possible with multi-lan ports on WinServer2012? 1lan down, 1lan up?
I really want to utilize the upload on WiMAX
-
It won't work. TCP isn't designed to work with multiple different IP addresses with a single connection.

Set up load balancing together with policy based routing and then you
will have a better benefit from both lines and all is running well for you. -
If you can identify the uploads in some way (e.g. have static-mapped IP addresses for some LAN clients where you do the uploads, or if it is big attachments on sending emails then match the SMTP… port number/s) then you can make policy-routing rules that will match that traffic and put it on the WiMax link.
