[CentOS] Dual WAN on EL8 desktop.
Hi, I have two internet connections from two ISPs. I also have a desktop with two Ethernet ports. My question: What is the best way to get the maximum out of two internet connections in EL 8 for my desktop? Thanks --- Lee ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Are you looking for redundancy / fail-over in the event one connection fails or are you looking to combine throughput for maximum bandwidth? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Hello, Need a VM somewhere in the clouds but very efficient and achieve redundancy and bandwidth aggregation : MultiPath TCP. The client part could go only on your desktop but if you want all your devices taking advantages of this system, take a look at https://www.openmptcprouter.com/ Regards, -- On Mon, 15 Feb 2021 at 12:57, Phil Perry wrote: > On 15/02/2021 11:30, Thomas Stephen Lee wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I have two internet connections from two ISPs. > > I also have a desktop with two Ethernet ports. > > > > My question: > > What is the best way to get the maximum out of two internet connections > in > > EL 8 for my desktop? > > > > Thanks > > > > Define maximum. > > Are you looking for redundancy / fail-over in the event one connection > fails or are you looking to combine throughput for maximum bandwidth? > > ___ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

There are a range of options that support 2 or more wan connections and provide load-balancing, fall-over, etc. You'll want to read the specs to find one that best meets your needs. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Hi, Thanks all for the suggestions. 😊 Some clarifications. The solution should be a software one without acquiring new hardware. What is ideal is the bandwidth of two connections and half bandwidth when one link is down. Some suggestions in other forums say use pfSense in a Virtual Machine, but no pointers on how to get a Network card inside the Virtual Machine to work as one on the host. --- Lee ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
