If you are in a place that you have multiple internet connections ( WiFi, 3g, 4g, 5g, Lan, etc. ) with poor speed, you can combine them together to get a faster and more reliable connection.

This is a really neat idea! Has anyone tried it?

I use https://speedify.com to channel bond Starlink and a few LTE/5g carriers on an Ubuntu server and connect that bonded connection to my router. So I’m kind of confused by this projects naming.

Couple other things worth looking at:

I set this up a while ago, so the services are a little dated there might be something better.

I also use speedify, and I use 10, yes 10, different mullvad VPN connections.

I have three internet connections at home. Each of the three connections has a wire guard connection to my two closest mullvad cities and one connection across the Pacific.

Speedify sees the wireguard tunnels, and each of the three uplinks. And I can use that to aggregate all the different pathways and do a first pass the post race for every packet.

Every packet gets replicated 13 times, and it races across the ocean, and the first one there gets delivered to the destination.

It's great for gaming! I was able to shave off 65 milliseconds of latency to game servers across the ocean.

Is this wasteful? Absolutely, but it's fun! The reason I use 10 mullvad connections is just because you get 5 simultaneous logins per account.

There's a couple different ways to set this up, Linux network name spaces, really intricate wire guard configurations, VLANs. I went with VLANs, it was the most robust and portable across different devices.

I would genuinely love to see your setup/RC scripts if that's something you can share without doxxing yourself

Oh well, I had no idea that speedified now supports Open WRT directly. That's great

What's not great is the new router plan, three terabytes per month limitation, 5x the price of the individual plan...

Yeah… I was kind of worried about that but I guess that’s just if you’re running on OpenWrt device? I’m certainly not on the router plan but maybe my use of running it on Ubuntu and not going crazy on bandwidth isn’t raising flags(?)
