Solved Multiple network adresses

[Abdelilah]

Hello,

Lacking a proxy on my PF is it possible to do the following:

- Assign multiple network addressees on the same subnet to a machine for example 192.168.1.12 and 192.168.1.13, can it be done without any hassle and how to proceed (multiple separated card, or one with multiple addresses).

- Multiple gateway on the same machine in order to have multiple public IP addresses.

Please give me your recommendations on this and also the best possible set up.

Lacking a proxy

If you are lacking a proxy, why not running a proxy in a jail and having pf on the jail-host. Depending on your needs the combination www/squid with www/privoxy could be worth to look at for investing in a less hassled future.

without any hassle

That's like a meal without any spice.

Well technically I can't use a proxy at the moment so the only way is to do it like this.

Alternatively net/haproxy is also a very good option. Added bonus is that it can proxy/load-balance plain TCP connections and it has a nice admin page with statistics. I have it set up on my own VPS and I've implemented it at various sites with medium to high traffic loads (biggest site I did pushed an average of 1.5Gbps of web traffic).

Hi,

you can assign multiple IP Address to one physical interface. The Handbook has an article about it: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/configtuning-virtual-hosts.html

Thanks for your answer, the dilemma is that both interfaces are in different vlans so I can't do this, do you have another solution ? Thanks.

Sure, just create those VLANs on FreeBSD and configure the switchport it is connected to to tag those VLANs. Refer to the Handbook: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-vlan.html
I really recommend to read through the Handbook.

I tried but nothing changes except that the machine becomes unreachable.

Hello everyone,

I've finally came on top of it after long hours of thinking and thinking, my main problem was that the server I tried to replicate was receiving the http requests on port 8080 while mine was receiving them on 80, plus, I had to add static routes and now everything works fine.
