Very cool! I thought that Viprinet is the only company which can provide SD-WAN like this because they have international patents on it. (see EP3155747A1 - Device for bundling a plurality of internet access media with forward error correction - Google Patents and EP1976202B1 - Device and method for transmitting a data stream over bundled network access cables, as well as transmission and reception aid device and transmission and reception method for same - Google Patents )

Hopefully, I am wrong, and you don't get suit for this. :smile:

There is no link to sign-up for the beta testing on that website.

That would surely a lovely service. Would that also allow users to connect to an hotel hotspot multiple times and combine those horribly artificially limited connections together?

I am also wondering about future costs of such a service. I cannot see how this wouldn't get running costs nearly identical to a VPN-provider; the traffic has to go to some sort of server to be combined again and split again on its way back...

On that web-page you have:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js"></script>
That's mixed-content, so it will not work on https. I would suggest removing the http: part and use the browser's smart thinking to select the correct protocol to load that.

The page possibly does not load due to some minor issues (Mixed-content), which may cause issues with the Javascript on that page. It SHOULD pretty much contain:

This is all I can see:

I see:

It's working on Google Chrome and not working on Mozilla Firefox...
(both on desktop - Windows 11)

On PC there is, on mobile not.

Sorry, I didn't test it on Mozilla Firefox. Please switch to Chrome or Safari. Will fix the display issue soon.

I just opened the site by using Firefox on Mac, and it works fine sometimes. Version is 128.0.2 (64-bit). We will fix it soon.

I spent some time reading the Patents you mentioned.

The specific patents mentioned here focuses on a algorithms to separate data packet into segments and resend them with a XOR system. I don't think it has anything related to what we are doing now.

There are some other patents related to data aggregation. Worth to read and analyze further.

Yeah, they hold different ones.

It was the first company creating SD-WAN with link aggregation no matter how the data stream looks, pretty cool technology because it will allow you to span bandwidth over different interfaces simultaneously.

Joined to learn more about it and will see how it goes from here.

Really hoping we might be able to self host the server portion on our own hardware.

Do you need to do private deployment on your own server host?

It would be a nice option, for example, someone at home who wants to bond multiple internet connections can then choose the best provider for all their connections and route out of there rather than being limited to wherever the server is you would be connecting to. It is quite niche but would offer much greater flexibility. Plus, I know that a LOT of data center IP's are blocked by most services and this could allow users to host it wherever they choose (either a data center of their choice or a friends house) bring their own IP's etc. Just offers much greater flexibility to the end user. In addition to this, considering a rackmount Gl-iNet router may not be the worst idea for something like this, something with high speed ports (2.5GBE, SFP+, etc), no wireless and a decent CPU. Could allow for really unique deployments with this type of tech. Regardless, I am very excited to see how AstroRelay develops as it is one of few products trying to actually tackle this problem!
