Multiwan, Content Filtering and traffic shaping
« on: September 20, 2012, 08:32:55 »
Hello everyone,

I have downloaded Zentyal 3.0, but haven't installed it yet.
Before doing that, I want to ask whether anyone has done something similar to what I want to do.
I have 2 WAN connections: 1 SDSL & 1 ADSL.
I want to use the Zentyal box as a firewall, with VLANS on the LAN side and I want it to route some specific traffic (production-related, for example, FTP) to the default SDSL WAN and other traffic, like web surfing, to the ADSL.
I suppose this is easy to achieve in Zentyal.

Now, I also want to have a transparent proxy with which I can do content filtering, without affecting the above policy-based routing, ie, once the transparent proxy is enabled, web surfing traffic should continue to go to the ADSL and FTP to the SDSL.

Is this easy to implement?

Finally, I would also like to enable traffic shaping, in order to give some groups of hosts more upload/download bandwidth compared to others.

Is all this achievable in Zentyal?
Anyone has such a configuration working?

Thanks for any feedback.

Hi,

All requirements you mentioned so far are supported by Zentyal. And it should be be easy to setup as long as you know what you're doing ;)

Cheers!

Thank you for your answer.

Are you aware of anyone having this setup working?
I know all these features are supported by Zentyal, but will they all work together?

The reason I'm asking is because I'm currently using pfSense (with policy-routing only) and from what I've read there are some issues to get all these features to work together, though things may have changed since last time I checked.

Thank you.
