How to I use the 5 static IPs from Frontier?

Setup 5 outbound gateways for TOR. Then sit back and wait for the fun.

Is there a speed increase for using 2 of the public ip addresses? I have the ability to run dual wans. Both would be coming from the ont. Or is this limited to the 20 megs up and 20 megs down for all of the public ips. We are on frontier business fiber.

Necro thread... but, no matter how many public IP addresses you are assigned, your total throughput is limited to the speed of your ISP pipe. If your subscription is for 20/20, then that's the max total throughout you can expect whether using 2 public IPs combined, or just 1. The primary reason for having multiple public IPs is for providing services to the outside world and the need for static NAT, such as for a web server to host your own website. A vast majority of customers have no real need for multiple public IPs.

It's possible that your gateway supports multiple WAN circuits, in which case it would be possible to multiply your throughput, but that would most likely require multiple subscriptions to your ISP.

Yes, this SonicWall is a TZ300, and any of the interfaces (ports) are configurable as a WAN. Since we already have one interface configured as a WAN with static IP, I thought I had to create a second WAN for another static IP. The goal is that we would also have 2 LAN interfaces, and that those LANs would be completely separate networks. So I thought we would do something like this:



When you say that each of your WAN ports on the firewall has multiple IP addresses available on it, do you mean public IP addresses? It would be great if we could somehow use 2 of the public static IP addresses through a single WAN interface on the firewall, and perhaps configure a second LAN interface for traffic that originates from that second static IP.

I see you say that WAN ports are only for secondary ISP connections, not to split the one, but Verizon/Frontier told us that all 5 IP addresses were on the single CAT6 cable, so that's why I'm a little confused here.

Based on your picture, the switch is fine. The question is whether your firewall is capable of separating the two WANs. If so, then you're good to go.

This stuff is why I run a Linux-based firewall. Interface overload, ebtables and virtual wireless and I can have as many wireless zones as needed. VLAN separation such that one port each off the WAN-side switch hosts a different subnet. But, I enjoy mucking about with Linux networking and firewall rulesets.
