two isp active at the same time

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hello,

I would first simply like to know if this configuration is possible on a Mikrotik router.

I have two ISPs and I want both of them to be active at the same time, with an additional complication: my VPN only works on one of the two ISPs (ISP1).

The first ISP is my main one for going online, but if it goes down, I want ISP2 to take over. However, ISP2 must remain active at the same time as ISP1 because I have servers behind ISP2.

I’ve seen many comments saying that it’s impossible to run two ISPs simultaneously on the same Mikrotik router, and I don’t understand why.

Could you please clarify this for me? Thank you.

It’s not impossible but an exported config would be helpful to determine the type of VPN, subnets, etc.:

export file=anynameyouwish (minus sensitive info like public IPs, passwords, etc.)

Very doable we help users all the time achieve success,
As noted, please post config for starters.

/export file=anynameyouwish ( minus router serial number, any public WANIP information, keys, long assed dchp lease lists etc.)

I would not comment further also without knowing the requirements in more detail so we dont chase, but I also want to do this,game.
a. identify all the devices/users, groups of users, external and internal users including the admin
b. identify the traffic they all require
c. be sure to cover any port forwarding or VPN traffic.
d. detail WAN setup, how many type ( static,dynamic, private, public IPs_)
e. detail the desired functionality load balancing , primary failover etc…
f. detail any exceptions, be it for single user, group of users, subnet etc in terms of traffic flow

I think you are almost there but make sure you havent missed anything!!!
