Have a question about the plausibility of the following idea…
Take the following:
RouterBoard RB951
USB Hub
3 or 4 3G or 4G USB modems with data plans
RB1100 (or something simular) in a datacenter or somewhere with lots of bandwidth
Do the following:
RB951 ↔ USB Hub ↔ each modem
create connections for each modem
on each connection, create a PPTP or other VPN connection to the big RB in the DC or Office
create an bounded EoIP connection between the 3/4 VPN connections with load balancing
…
profit!
Would this work? I am thinking in theory that it would, but i have the question about the VPN connections: How do you tell the RB to use a particular WAN connection for a VPN connection? my RB1100 has a few VPN clients and they all just use what ever connection they feel like (I cant tell it to use a particular one).
Should work if the router recognizes the hub and modems properly. To route specifically or load balance, use mangle and nat… there are examples in the wiki.
