Smoothwall?

[FaNIX]

Do you know if it's possible to use smoothwall to make 2 pppoe connections, one with a Local only Account, and one with an International Account? And then apply routing so that int traffic goes through the international account?

Any idea if this would work?

Why not use IPCOP.

 

[FaNIX]

Well, if that will work then I have no objections to using it... But I like all the funcky Smoothwall tools, like proxy caching and msn messenger logging etc

I reckon you would be able to, smoothwall and ipcop are basically siblings...

I think why RichardG suggested IPCOP is the wonderful script a fellow myBB member cooked up, does everything automatically.

I am sure you would be able to do it in Smoothwall, a simple test see if you can establish more than one connection via SSH. if it works all that is left will be the routes...

I will even go as far as to say you can use the IPCOP script as a starting point...

You can split local and international quite easily on Smoothwall, IPcop, monowall, pfsense or any other linux or bsd distribution. Hell, you could even use Plan9 if you are feeling adventurous.

Heck, don't be so flippant.

Will the FireWall still work properly now that there are 2 outside points to control?
Will bandwidth monitoring and accounting accumulate properly?
Can any of the reports be modified to seperate the 2 pppoe totals?

I was using IPCop, and though it worked okay, accounting was not possible at all, and firewall exposure was a big unknown.
I am now using ClarkConnect, and hey ... it's even more of an unknown than IPCop was.

I'm just saying ... it's not easy and there are risks.

Firewall security should still be 100% - I don't see any exposure risk.

Accounting, as you say, is more of a challenge.

I haven't done this myself so I can't really say.

I also don't see any risk, well again I might be wrong but if you are paranoid edit iptables manually and enforce a strict block all and allow only wanted traffic policy...
