Hi guys,
I am not sure which direction to dig so I decided to ask community.
The setup is on the attached picture.
The main connection is over wireless bridge and 3G PPPoE is used as backup.
Two static routes are configured with different distances values, i.e. 20 and 50.
I have configured PPTP server to rich the network from outside over PPPoE connection.
But I am unable to rich the VPN server from outside over PPPoE interface if Wireless Bridge is active as main route.
So the question is: is it possible to route this somehow?
You need to do proper mangling and routing tables. Look at the presentation in my sig, just leave out the load balancing part.
Thank you for the link, quiet interesting presentation.
Probably it could help as the next step - to route VPN clients over 3G WAN.
But how does it help in the first place -the router does not respond even on ping over 3G WAN if Wireless bridge is active?
In the presentation, you should see how to make a proper mangle and route table for 2 WANs. After you do that, it will respond correctly. Just leave out the mangling for load balancing.
Your problem atm is that even for connections iniciated on the 3G, the responces are send over the default gateway which is on the bridge, therefore it cant work. Sessions are not replied to through the same connectivity they were started on, which breaks things. This is explained in more detail in the presentation.
