Absolutely, the Peplink is a SPOF. They do support an HA mode with two Peplinks, but that hasn't been necessary for our uptime requirements yet.
It helps that the unit has been rock solid, too. Not a single crash or hickup.
We do have another (non-Peplink) router we can drop in within a few minutes, we've had to do that a few times when we were running another brand of router prior to the Peplink.
- omh 14y agoI've set up something similar with old hardware and pfSense. It supports Multi-WAN and HA failover, and the price is nicer than the custom hardware units (as long as you can find a fast enough unit to run it on).
- weirdedhimself 14y agoI love pfSense, it's a great platform! I used to run that at home for several years, and even in the early days at Sumo Logic. The only achilles heel I've found is the fact that it runs on a PC, and PC hardware tends to have a lot more moving parts and break. You also need to take care to make configure the BIOS to turn on the PC after a power failure, etc. pfSense is definitely a great option, but I've basically decided I'm too lazy and prefer the robustness of the Peplink. A smaller Peplink unit only runs $300-400, definitely comparable to an entry level PC...
