MultiWAN

The MultiWAN view allows you to create and configure WAN traffic divisions for load balancing and failover and applying traffic rules.

Using the MultiWAN feature, you can enable up to 250 WAN interfaces to:

  • Provide load balancing over multiple WAN interfaces based on a numeric weight assignment.
  • Monitor connections using repeated ping tests and can automatically route outbound traffic to another WAN interface if the first WAN interface loses connectivity.
  • Set rules to customize which outbound connections should use which WAN interface
  • Customize rules based on various parameters such as IP:s, port(s) and protocol.

Why should I use mwan3?

If you have multiple internet connections, you want to control which traffic goes through which WANs

Mwan3 can handle multiple levels of primary and backup interfaces, load-balanced or not. Different sources can have different primary or backup WANs.

Mwan3 uses netfilter mark mask to be compatible with other packages (such as OpenVPN, PPTP VPN, QoS-script, Tunnels, etc) as you can configure traffic to use the default routing table.

Mwan3 can also load-balance traffic originating from the router itself

The MultiWAN settings are divided into tabs.
