However, using this method, if I try to access the router externally through WAN2 (for monitoring, for example), I can’t.
I’ve tried different methods with a separate routing table and mangle rules, and I can successfully connect externally through WAN1 and WAN2, but I can’t get the failover to work for the endpoints connected to the LAN network.
In the case of Primary WAN1 and Secondary or Backup WAN2: In this case all traffic exits the router via WAN1 and one thinks primarily of LAN traffic. However, any external originated traffic arriving at the router will go in the appropriate WAN ( by IP address or dyndns url) but will exit WAN1.
To ensure traffic to WAN1 (ping the router or VPN) and to WAN2, go back out the same WAN we typically have to mangle traffic.
Hi, yes, and the way to send traffic to a specific WAN you have to use route tables. As soon as I configure a specific Routing Table for WAN2, failover stops working. I tryed diferent mangle rules but I cant figure out how to route traffic to WAN2 when WAN1 is down, it keeps using main Routing table.
