Forgive my ignorance here, I’m not a networking expert: what I’m trying to do is split network traffic over two max transit duos using PepVPN. This is how I’m doing it:
I have two max transit duos. Each has two cellular connections. In first router I have a PepVPN connection set up with a bonding policy and WAN smoothing enabled. I connect this router to the WAN port on the second router and set up a separate PepVPN connection on the second router with a bonding policy and WAN smoothing disabled. The second router now shows traffic being split across its two cell links and the WAN link, where that WAN link is the first router that has its own PepVPN connection over its two cell links.
What I hope is that the traffic is being balanced between the two cell connections and the WAN connection on the second router, and that the traffic going over that WAN connection is being sent from the first router using WAN smoothing over its two cell links.
Will this actually work? If not, is there a way to make it work?
Yes that will work. You would need to set one of the pepvpn connections to use non standard ports so that it doesn’t conflict with the other vpn tunnel.
Question of course becomes why. I’d prefer to use wifi wan and WAN to connect to the first transit and then have one cellular modem available on wan and the other on wifi wan. Then dynamic weighted bonding on the primary transit could use all four connections.
@MartinLangmaid thanks for the tip about ports and the suggestion about wifi wan and wan, I’ll try that. I would use synergy, but both units are beyond their free trial period and I don’t want to pay for it.
