General • Re: Dual WAN parallel setup for only one subnet?

It would seem what you need conceptually is.

add check-gateway=ping distance=2 dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=ISP1 routing-table=main
add distance=4 dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=ISP2 routing-table=main.


As stated, all traffic will go to WAN and if it goes down failover will move traffic to WAN2 and if WAN1 comes back then traffic will go back to WAN1.
Now you have it would appear one subnet that needs to go out out WAN2 instead of WAN1 when originating traffic, but ensure WAN1 can be used if WAN2 goes down.

One problem I see is you have two identical bridges with a different IP address.

So one can have two bridges, Or one bridge and one ethernet port, or TWO or more vlans and one bridge.

Q1. Does either LAN traffic only use one ethernet port?
Q2. how does the client use WAN2. Originates an outgoing connection? Coming in on VPN and going out WAN2 for internet??
Hey,

Q1. There's traffic coming in the same ethernet port on the Mikrotik (let's say ether 3) from multiple subnets due to how the environment is set up. I can try to isolate one specific port for just the 254 subnet, but what would be your recommendation afterwards to solve the issue?
Q2. We're connecting to their OpenVPN server as a client and using the 2nd ISP's public IP. This isn't the case yet however, due to the problem I'm having, so we're using our 1st ISP to establish the connection.
