Software Defined WAN

I meant for us to add ourselves. It's VyOS under there, you should be able to just install to it.

The idea of installing software on a hardware firewall just seems creepy

@dafyre We've considered making a little appliance for this, or a ready-to-run Raspberry Pi image.

Appliance isn't a bad idea.

In regards to your other posts, yeah. I ran into the same issues, kinda. I was able to get it to work by adding routes on the devices that needed to talk across networks. A curious thought, though... Why not install a few ZT "routers" on each end of my network... Then I can let the local DHCP server hand out static routes to the ZeroTier subnets?

I think you and I are thinking at different levels of the stack, in some regards, aren't we? You're thinking down at the ethernet level, and I am thinking one notch up at the IP level?

Also when thinking about a bridge set up... what I envision when you say that is something like this:

192.168.100.1-128/24 --> ZT BRIDGE --> (other site) --> 192.168.100.129 - 254 / 24 ?

That description is a nightmare waiting to happen. You described a pair of /25 networks setup as a single /25 and want it all to be magic across a VPN.

It is an extremely bad idea.

That is just what I see in my head when thinking about bridging ZT to an Ethernet device... but that's not how I've done it in practice.

I could build a VyOS VM and try to install it on that and see if it works or not.

This is all interesting stuff. I can't wait to finish my server build. Here it is if you're interested: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/9gPqjX

Is this server for a home lab?

Nice!

I'm going to experiment with SSD caching on a software raid using ZFS Striped Mirrored Vdev’s as well as a ton of VM testing.

Just curious, which hypervisor are you planning to use? I'm assuming you'll be passing the drives through to a vm running the storage?
