Multiple internet connection using iptables

Post by tomiptables » Wed Dec 14, 2011 11:25 am

hi can you guys help me how to configure my iptables to use two internet connection simultaneously my problem is like this

i have grml cd and a flsh disk which holds the configuration file (firewall and bootlocal.last) so when the live cd boots up it mount my flash disk and read the configuration file from it so my question is i want to use two Internet at the same time meaning i have one wireless and one fiber(weird) connection so i want my client to use both of the Internet at the same time and if one fails there should be no problem using the other one whit out them knowing the Internet is interrupted so can i do that using iptables if so can you please help me do that.

your question does not seem related to OpenVPN at all; you'd be better off asking your question on an linux/iptables forum.

There are two main uses for multiple Internet links connected to the same internal network. One common use is to select an outbound link based on the type of outbound service. The other is to split traffic arbitrarily across multiple ISPs for reasons like failover and to accommodate greater aggregate bandwidth than would be available on a single uplink.
