Server Fault Asked by Testing Nuwani on January 14, 2021
Here is my situation. Im not a network expert so sorry if I’m not explaining this correctly.
In my company, we have two separate internet connections from different ISPs. Both the routers are connected to a Switch.
We have two windows servers (2019) for the proxy and the file server. (Assume there is no proxy server or firewall installed right now and suggest me a good proxy and a firewall for my purpose)
There are 65 client machines (running windows 7 & 10) on each floor of the company that has given static IPs (192.168.1.X). All three floors of the company have separate switches that connect client machines of each floor
What I want is to give access to a range of IPs to a certain ISP and limit their web accessibility through the proxy server or the firewall. Then give another range of IPs to the second ISP with some web filtering.
Hope you understood the situation. Please help me to get a solution for this.
This is fortunately not that hard to solve. Let's say we define the following: ISP_A and ISP_B being your two ISPs and CLIENT_NET_A (192.168.1.0/24) and CLIENT_NET_B (192.168.2.0) being the two different subnets in your office. Then what you could do to achieve what you want is this:
You should probably also add a DHCP server to your setup so you can assign addresses to guests and you might even want to assign IPs to your clients via DHCP too - you would have to register each client's MAC address in the DHCP though.
With respects to the firewall, you might want to add a drawing to improve understanding of your setup.
That should cover it from a very top down view. If you need help with the specifics, you can easily find it online. While not entirely standard, your setup is not that different from a lot of other stuff out there.
