March 27, 201511 yr I am about to sign up for a new internet plan which will give me two separate pipes, 1gb over fibre and 100mb over cable. Before going ahead I need to plan how it’s best setup. Scenario 1. Both connections into a router than allows dual WAN. Configure 1 connection to go through my VPN service Other connection without VPN for general surfing and legal streaming - In this scenario, I would need to tell the docker containers on unRAID to use connection 1 for NZB, torrets etc and connection two for everything else. Though as everything else is just updates to unraid, plugins and containers, I could funnel all traffic from the unraid server to the VPN connection (how I do this I don’t know yet) Scenario 2. Install second NIC in unRAID server. NIC one to normal home LAN and router out to Intenet. Second NIC, used by chosen Docker containers, goes to a second router and out through a separate connection to the internet with my VPN service. - In this scenario, as long as I can tell the container which NIC to use, everything would be a lot cleaner and smoother to setup. - It wouldn’t cost more in HW as I have 100mb capable routers lying around that I can use. - If I ever want to use the VPN service on the PCs/laptops at home, I can just use the VPN client as opposed to a router based setup. I’m leaning towards Scenario 2. Is there anything I am missing or misunderstanding that would make Scenario 1 better, or is there a Scenario 3 ?
March 27, 201511 yr If you use Plex then that can be a pain to get working with a VPN. Is it possible to configure individual docker containers to use a specific NIC adaptor?
March 27, 201511 yr If you use Plex then that can be a pain to get working with a VPN. Is it possible to configure individual docker containers to use a specific NIC adaptor? No, You can, however, put all containers on eth1, for example.

March 27, 201511 yr Author So if there is no connection from my home lab to eth1 I wouldn't be able to access the containers from my PC? Or can unRAID be setup as an internal bridge?
March 27, 201511 yr I honestly don't know. archedraft helped me set up some bridges and I've installed pfsense on a VM which may be another way forward. On my phone at the moment but there is a thread about it in the KVM forum.
