I'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...
