One thing I always wondered was if there was a (relatively easy) way to setup a multi-home auto-fallback router. I.e. if I have two internet connections (maybe, for example, one via Comcast and one via Qwest) my primary internet connection goes down then have the linux machine (and I imagine it would have to be an actual separate machine, not just a router flashed with openwrt) detect that the primary connection is not functioning, and automatically change the default route to the secondary connection, and then when the primary connection becomes usable again, the router automatically changes the default route back. Anyone aware of any tools that would allow me to do this? --- Dan On Fri, Dec 25, 2015 at 9:05 AM, Ruari Brennan <[email protected]> wrote: > I personally will try to sell you on Sophos Home UTM simply for the ease of > configuration, but it has its limitations...pfSense is absolutely wonderful > and a blast to use once you get it going > > On Thu, Dec 24, 2015 at 8:25 PM Jonathan Duncan < > [email protected]> > wrote: > > > On Thu, Dec 24, 2015 at 1:29 PM, Derrick R.
