My 2 Speedy ADSL & Zeroshell Load Balancing Failover

Here're my experience with Zeroshell. I had mikrotik balancing before, but seem its too complicated for a newbie. Then I decided to try this Zeroshell, and its works great.. :)

I had 2 ADSL connection at the office, and want to maximize its utilization. Here are my config :


Two speedy connection with @1Mbps speed

Speedy1 speed


Speedy2 speed


Now come the zeroshell configuration
You should have visited http://www.zeroshell.net/, before come to this. I had my Zeroshell running through usb HD stick. Quiet handy actually, you could also installed it on HD but I quiet comfort with the USB stick.

Network Interface IP setup

DHCP setting


Router setup (static gateway setting)


It even work without static route (so maybe it doesn't need static route)


Most important the NAT-thing…I was able to do it by enabling NAT on all interface, I’ld to test if its work with only one interface being NAT-ed (ETH01).


The NetBalancer the fun stuff ;)
Make sure you see that Failover Monitor status is Active


Balancing rule, need to activate also..this is mine look like


Another sign if Balancing is working, traffic is flooding to the the two interface


Last fun Stuff
The Speed Test…it shows that I had over 1Mbps download speed, the goal I pursued with this Zeroshell.

Result after success setting the Zeroshell


What more interesting is Failover do work. When one link down connection is still up using the other link.


Connection is doing all right using the failover link
