OpenMPTCPRouter based on OpenWRT

sigkill · 2020-11-07T14:26:34.606Z

This project works quite well on Raspberry Pi and other hardware, but I can’t quite figure out WHY Gl.iNet has not gobbled up and started contributing to the project on github - GitHub - Ysurac/openmptcprouter: OpenMPTCProuter is an open source solution to aggregate multiple internet connections using Multipath TCP (MPTCP) on OpenWrt - https://www.openmptcprouter.com/

It requires a fair bit of setup, but an image for some of the higher end devices would be awesome. At the moment, there are none, and I’m eager to get one built, as the Raspberry Pi takes a much bigger footprint and requires a bunch of usb interfaces to get all the ethernet devices bonded.

This is different than fail over, or round robin. It’s actual BONDED internet connection with at least 2 or greater connections - to a VPS of your choice, then going out from that VPS to the world.

I was able to get over a 100Mb link at one point using several LTE 4G connections, a Fiber Connection, and another neighbors wireless connection all bonded into one fat connection.

Is there anyone on this forum working on this project by any chance?

Hello very good afternoon. I know Ycarus’ project and it’s great.
It would be great if GL-iNet would implement and collaborate with the OpenMPTCProuter project.
It would be amazing a GL-iNet device with 4 4G/5G modems and battery,
I also tested it on a Raspi to send video and audio in real time

I send this to engineers to check.

Thank you

Very cool! Any luck in reviewing the project?

I understand that new features are exciting. But near year end, this is not likely to update in the near future.

+1 for this

being OpenMPTCProuter openwrt based it would be great seeing it implemented on GL.inet hardware.

that is really a killer feature for a VPN oriented roaming device like many GL.inet are focused to

Thank you

another group of people that would be interested are in real life live streamers. Most currently use bonding service by LiveU or speedify because it is easy and it works. If glinet came up with a device for bonding different data connections that work well

oceanmasterza · 2022-03-24T21:56:31.505Z

Just use Sane by Bondix.

a Killer feature of portable router
now using rpi4, it would be nice if it can be handle by AXT1800

Dipin · 2023-06-12T10:00:54.496Z

Yes, if the AXT1800+ external 4G/5G dongle can do link consolidation and failover, it will be attractive to people who live in reality, but cloud router servers are difficult to deploy and manage.

This would be Awesome! Have heard of users installing OpenMPTCProuter on the x750, but the new x3000 will be superb at this! OpenMPTCProuter requers some grunt and the x3000 is well powerful enough for it. Thanks!

mati · 2023-07-30T17:19:23.021Z

+1 for that! Using that kind of multi connection would be really game changer, especially for Spitz AX used in my RV.

MrFOX · 2023-10-28T10:10:36.133Z

Is there any new information? I would really like to use Multipath TCP in my tasks.

It's been a few years. any news? about to spend money with pepwave or someone to get reliable bonding.

admon · 2024-12-06T11:57:42.030Z

I would say www.astrowarp.net should be what you need?
It's an MPTCP based bonding service from GL themself.

techtaxi · 2024-12-06T12:26:24.020Z

money wise, I save money by hosting cloud based myself. I have a 4vCPU/5GB ram/ 24tb monthly transfer 1gb connection on a vps that cost me $55 for the year. astrowarp would be 12 times that amount.

admon · 2024-12-06T12:26:45.620Z

AstroWarp will be available for self hosting later 2025, afaik.

techtaxi · 2024-12-06T15:41:34.450Z

I wish I knew for sure that self hosting is coming and when, it would give me some hope and guidance on what to do for now. $270 for a year on speedify for a router is high when over half the servers are blocked by youtube and the ones that aren't are 75% slower cause of the amount of users on them. Shame I have to use a browser surf shark extension to just pull up youtube after speedtesting a dozen or two servers to find one with good speeds.

tutugreen · 2024-12-07T16:05:13.561Z

Didn't even know GL already release their solution.. Looking forward to the self hosted...
