Learn to build a home lab network from a single internet connection to simulate three virtual ISPs, enabling failover, load balancing, and real-time testing.
Assign five NICs to a VyOS router in VMware Workstation, set a bridged management interface, configure three ISP links and NAT for the upstream internet, and verify interfaces.
Configure a VyOS router for multiple ISPs by static IPs on ISP1 and ISP3, DHCP on ISP2, PPPoE server and dialer on ISP3, and NAT on the internet uplink.
Install pfSense 2.7.2 CE on VMware Workstation, configure four NICs for three ISPs and a LAN, set WAN/LAN IPs, and access the pfSense GUI.
Identify pfSense interfaces by MAC addresses, then configure three isp interfaces as static, dhcp, and pppoe, assign gateways, and verify connectivity in a multi-isp lab.
