Multi WAN failover with Dynamic DNS
Hi Community,
I am new to Watchguard and would like some help/guidance on this.
I am planning to setup 2 WAN interfaces as WAN 1 - Fiber Ethernet , WAN 2 - LTE Router as failover (WAN 1 Primary)
As I understand, DDNS should be configured per interface and not as a global setting. Can I have the same DDNS Address / Account on both interfaces?
Will only the active interface report the IP to DDNS service ?
Will setting up an SD-WAN with a appropriate policy to failover to WAN 2 be the best in this case?

Hi @CharmA
For DDNS, it depends on the service -- some of them only allow one IP to be updated per account, some allow a domain identifier or similar to be added. Some of the providers only allow this type of thing for a paid vs free account, as well.
The firewall reports for each interface that is configured.
If you'd like to set up SD-WAN, you're welcome to, but SD-WAN has no bearing on DDNS or vice-versa.

I would use Multi-WAN type = Failover and not use SD-WAN here.
Failover will do what you want.
