I have a situation where I will have 2 firewalls, each at their own respective site using different ISPs. I'd like to setup it up so that end users only have to connect to the portal at site1.mydomain.org, which will have the gateway configuration listed for the local firewall. If that site loses internet, and therefore the portal isn't available, I'd like to have them automatically reconnect to site2.mydomain.org w/o them having to take any user intervention if possible, similar to having 2 gateways listed on the same portal.
Is that possible w/o having to manually reconfigure their vpn clients or install the client from script?

Hello @DJ_1924
I've encountered this scenario before, and what you'll require is a combination of a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service and a health check service. This setup will monitor the public IPs from each firewall and provide the necessary DNS record to connect to either A or B. It's important to note that this functionality cannot be achieved solely within the firewall itself, as external monitoring of the public IPs is necessary to determine their availability. Companies that provide these services include Cloudflare and Amazon.
