Which linux flavour works best with pfsense?įor those who think this will double your bandwidth across the board, it will not give you full double bandwidth. Is there a hardware appliance, pfsense with 8 WAN?Ĭan I also configure in same network a backup router (secondary) with dedicate 4 WAN of similar specs above so when any of the 1st pfsense WAN fails or its router fails, 2nd router with separate WAN will take over.Ĭan I also configure pfsense secondary router to return to primary router as soon as the outage at primary router is restored? I may face a challenge of getting 8 PCI Ethernet card slots PC to work on pfsense.ĭoes pfsense works with usb/lan adapter to use as wan? Thus provides 4Mbps for each PC of upstream speed/bandwidth Meaning will pfsense give me 400Mbps upstream bandwidth and 800Mbps downstream bandwidth? I have 100+ cpu/windows PC for gaming purposes This is the maximum link speed that I can subscribe at my current location. If I have 8 dynamic ip WAN that is asymmetrical with such speeds of : upstream = 50Mbps, downstream = 100Mbps give me bandwidth BONDING or AGGREGATION OR ADD bandwidth Please support the nixCraft with a PayPal donation or Patreon.ġ.

Your internet connection will go down, if your pfSense router failed due to hardware problems. You will get the wan (internet) connection redundancy and load balancing but not the router redundancy. If one internet connections goes down, you will be still connected via failover.
You can use the speedtest-cli as follows to verify that bandwidth is doubled from a client computer: You will notice and use both internet connection when using Torrents and downloading a large file from load balancing.
