WANFailover Dual WAN Failover Script

[rlj2]

Changing from Failover Mode to Load Balance Mode does require a reboot unfortunately. If you switch back to Failover Mode you could add your rules like this via CLI. *** I realized I mistyped my example to you in my prior post as well. ***

Test using this example:

ip rule add from 192.168.50.137 to all table 200 priority 150

Once you have tested that you could add something like this firewall-start script to make sure it stays added and as well doesn't create duplicates, add each IP to the IPS array, one IP per line between the quotes.

# Redirect IPs to WAN1
IPS='
192.168.50.137
'
TABLE="200"

for IP in ${IPS}; do
  if [ -z "$(ip rule list from ${IP} to all lookup ${TABLE} priority 150)" ] >/dev/null;then
    ip rule add from ${IP} to all table ${TABLE} priority 150
  fi
done
IPS=""
TABLE=""

like you I get busy, but was playing around this morning. This, even if incorrect made .24 use wan1
ip rule add from 192.168.50.24 to all table 200 lookup wan1
Fyi, i struggle with this stuff

I finally made my way over to using this script, I've been reading and reading but I can't figure out the possibility to enable OpenVPN client 1 on failover only and disable client on fallback. I'm sure this has been discussed somewhere before, but I only want VPN enabled when I'm on WAN1. Any help appreciated.

I recommend to use VPNMON-R2 by @Viktor Jaep for this, I purposely do not build in this feature to allow leverage of his tool to perform VPN Monitoring.

I was literally just reading his readme, but I wasn't sure the feature I was looking for was included. Using VPN only on wan1 and not on wan0 should be possible using VPNMON?

By default VPNMON-R2 will try to connect and monitor a VPN connection on either WAN0 or WAN1... it's whatever your preference is. It's purpose is to make a connection and maintain it, no matter the cost. It will not, however, only initiate a connection after a failover... Sorry.

I misread the actual question when I was on my phone.

No worries.. Any idea how I could only initiate VPN on wan1? I only need it when on my backup cellular modem so I don't get hit with using hotspot data. I never use router VPN other than when on wan1
