Hopefully this is the correct forum.
Where I work has a very flaky DSL WAN and no other connections are available. But, at an employees residence there is cable 'net access.
In order to alleviate possible NAT issues, I wanted to give the PFsense box a static public IP from the cable modem over a wireless connection to a VLAN.
The plan is to have the PFsense box act as the Router/DHCP server and assign IP addresses to both locations.
My worry is having the cable modem exposed to the private network, if this contraption even works. I was hoping some of the resident experts could give me a bit of input.
Interface layout.
rl0 - WAN1 = DSL pppoe connection, Static IP
rl1.0 - WAN2 = Cable Modem, Static IP (VLAN)
rl1.1 = LAN / DHCP server (VLAN)
ppp0 - WAN3 = 3G USB, Dynamic IP
