Testing WANOS - Single Appliance
lmolina:
Greetings,
1. As explained above, a minimum of two Wanos appliances configured in bridge type are needed for WAN Optimization to work.
2. If the images you downloaded came from the official download page http://wanos.co/wan-optimization/download/ then you are free to evaluate it. If you need test thoroughly, email info@wanos.co.
3. Here's a link to Single appliance setup. http://wanos.co/docs/docs/frequently-asked-questions/single-appliance/ These are the features availale in this setup. You can create an IPSec tunnel setup but as long as Item 1 is not satisfied then you may not be able to get WAN Optimization.
You may also refer to our documentation online. http://wanos.co/docs/

Server-A <---> Wanos-A <---> Wide Area Network Link <---> Wanos-B <---> Workstation-B
In the topology mentioned in the first post, the Wan Optimization part of Wanos can't function as they work in pairs. Think of it as one side compress the data and the second one decompress the data after it has been received over the WAN link.

Perfect !! Agradesco your answer, however I was born some doubts:
1- Do I have to make any additional configuration for the WANOS optimization to work?
2- I simply download the image of wanos. Is there an expiration date for this version? Or I can use it permanently.
3- Continuing your example, If there is an IP Sec tunnel between Server-A and Workstation-B, will the WANOS optimization work?
Thank you !!

Just to add:
1) In lab setup using v.3 in bridge mode then the only absolute requirement is IP address and wan0 cables connected to the wan network. No other config is absolutely required to get optimization to work.
2) v.3 yes. The default Express license does not expire.
3) If there is an IPsec tunnel between the server and workstation then no optimization would not work. Traffic between server and workstation should be plain TCP type of traffic. IPsec between router-A and router-B is ok

I get it,
I will be testing in my real scenario and I will be reporting the results
Thank you very much !!

Thank you very much !!
Today I hope to carry out the tests, however I have some doubts regarding your aggregations:
1- "In lab setup using v.3 in bridge mode then the only absolute requirement is IP address and wan0 cables connected to the network .No other config is absolutely required to get optimization to work."
My scenario is the following:
-Site Server:
The router has a public ip
-Site Workstation
The router has a private ip (NAT 3).
Wanos will work under this scenario?
2- v.3 yes. The default Express license does not expire.
This is perfect !!!
3- "If there is an IPsec tunnel between the server [/ b] and workstation [/ b] then no [/ b] optimization would not work. TCP type of traffic. IPsec between router-A and router-B is ok "
Continuing with my Scenario:
-Site Server:
Here I have a Firewwall connected from under the router
-Site WorkStation:
Here I have a Firewall connected from under the Router
Both Firewall establish an IPSec tunnel, in certain occasions I use SSL.
- Under this scenario, should I connect WANOS on top of my Firewall? or low
- In this way will WANOS work?
I wait for your help.
Thank you very much !!!

Yes, its fine, so it will look like this:
Server-A <---> Wanos-A <---> Firewall-A <---> IPSec <---> Firewall-B <---> Wanos-B <---> Workstation-B
If the Firewalls are doing strict filtering, please see the Firewall FaQ for ports and protocols that need to be opened
