AW: [pfSense Support] Pfsense Bridge/Router 2WANs
Hi ! Do we need to setup special routing on it. Is there a documented setup for this. Being new, I found some howto pdfs, but wasn't sure if it would apply here. The PDF should apply to this, although it's for an older version... But should work... BUT: Why use IPCop if you have pfSense ? Only advantage is snort and AV-proxy... With IPCopy you have NO outgoing rules, which makes it nonsense in my opinion... For commercial setup I think you require outgoing rules or does everybody have every right to do what he wants in the net ? The setup would be much easier if you drop the ipcop. Less points of failure. Less administration. Anyway help or suggestions would be welcome.

[pfSense Support] Pfsense Bridge/Router 2WANs
What we are wanting to do is setup a bridge basically. We like IPCOP as a managed Firewall option, but for redundancy reasons, have had to add a DSL and Cable Broadband connection to our Network. Previously we only had a DSL connection from verizon. It has issues more often than not. We have added now the cable connection. The IPCOP setup is work very nicely as a single DSL firewall, but obviously we want to have load balancing or at least failover setup between the two broadband connections. This can't be done easily if at all on IPCOP. OK, that is what is going on. Now, the setup we want to do is Use the pfsense box as a load balancer/failover point to bring the two Broadband connections into. It would handle these and route them to one internal connection (The RED zone) on the ipcop. We would then use IPCOP as the firewall between our network and the rest of the world. I assume this is possible? Will the pfsense box be secure? Do we need to setup special routing on it. Is there a documented setup for this.
