1/Overview
This setup enables pfSense to load balance traffic from your LAN to multiple internet connections (WANs). Traffic from the LAN is shared out on a round robin basis across the available WANs. pfSense monitors each WAN connection, using an IP address you provide, and if the monitor fails, a failover configuration is used, this typically just feeds all traffic down the other connection(s). This example sets up 2 WANs, but 3 or more can be used.
2/Intro
You can use other device load balance but it very expensive for your Company (Include My company).Pfsense can deploy all company from small -> big company( <500users)
3/Install
you can Setup pfsense with 3 interface
Lan:172.16.1.1
Wan1: 192.168.20.204
Wan2:172.16.10.1
Step 1: Create App pool wan1&wan2(services>load balancer)
Step 2:Create rule for Local access internet via pool wan1&wan2
Step 3:Check status pool (Status > Load Balancer)
Step 4:Disconnect line 1 check internet va status pool
Step 4:Connect Line 1 Disconnect line 2 check internet va status pool
other you can setup Pfsense cluster failover .I will intro later
You're underselling the project with "<500 users". :) There are numerous deployments with thousands.
ReplyDeleteGood write up though, thanks for promoting the project.
