WANFailover Dual WAN Failover ***v2 Release***

[tarzan2000]

I would need debug logs to diagnose this further, I'd recommend opening up an issue in GitHub.

ok, done

I have an ax86u on latest merlin firmware running Dual WAN failover. My 1G port fails over to my 2.5G port no problem. No other addons. So thank you.

I am interested in restricting access to the internet during failover to a subset of IPs and I'm not sure how to accomplish this. One kink perhaps is that I'm leveraging the vlans created by the router and the ip range I'd like to allow access is on the 501 vlan (192.168.101.0/24) while the 'main' network and most devices are on vlan 1 (192.168.50.0/24).

I tried doing something like this in my ssh session on router (read: not in startup script):

iptables -I OUTPUT 1 -s 192.168.50.0/24 -o eth5 -j DROP
iptables -I FORWARD 1 -s 192.168.50.0/24 -o eth5 -j DROP

The idea was to only allow traffic from the 192.168.101.0/24 network through the 2.5G port, but that did not seem have any effect.

Any thoughts on how to approach this?

You would create ip rules to block the traffic, not ip table rules.

why ?

I tried to create separate thread inquiring about this but it was removed I guess because it is similar to my previous post. I'm not sure why iptable rules wouldn't work nor how to go about creating ip rules.

Thanks for your work, after i installed in ssh amtm it said status: failover disabled, my main connection is fiber 100/1000 whit PPPOE the second wan is Cisco 881 4g whit sim card behind CGNAT of the cellular provider, why in the dual wan main menu says status: failover disabled after I enabled via asus webui?

I’d recommend opening up an issue on GitHub for this.

Hi, I have recently setup a dual WAN on my Merlined AX68U. I have this setup as fail over and failback with the default Asus setup. It appears to check both DNS and a ping to determine WAN status. I believe it works fine but the only test I have is pulling the enet cable out for each connection.
What does this script offer over the default Asus setup? Are there bugs in the default setup that I have not seen yet? It looks as though this script only check ping for WAN status - is that true?

FYI, my WAN0 is a PPPoE connection which requires a specific VLAN connected to the WAN port, and WAN1 is connected to a cable modem through one of the enet ports. Strangely, if I setup the dual WAN with the cable modem on the WAN port, there is no way to get the PPPoE WAN to work as the VLAN setting only seems to apply to the WAN port.
