Howto access internet when UTM is down

dinodod
I am pretty sure this has been asked before but I can't find any such option or thread / document on how.

My question is how do I allow my clients to still be able to access the internet when the UTM server goes down?  I only installed the endpoint security client (No hardcoded proxy).

Thanks

    Have you considered a Hot-Standby UTM?  UPSs?  A second ISP?

    What is your concern?

    Cheers - Bob

    I am specifically focused on the UTM server itself failing or going offline for any reason.   I am not including any outside influences such as power / network issues as these are separate issues that are outside the scope of this question.

    Having this simple option is the easiest and cheapest option for budget minded people in the event of a server outage specifically.  Then I would be able to work on the issue without anyone knowing about it. And if you are wondering, I would get an alert using a tool like Whatsup when the server goes down or stops responding to a probe.

    A hot-standby UTM would require manual intervention to switch over and involves additional hardware as it would need to hosted on a separate system obviously.
    UPSs & Second ISPs do not prevent hardware failures on the server.
