This VPN position also lets us do error correction: we can detect lost packets l
ong before TCP does, and resend them before your throughput collapses. This is a
problem for a lot of Wi-Fi and satellite users.
Finally, there are a couple advanced configuration options: you can tell it to s
end every packet on every connection (first to arrive is delivered), you can tel
l it a connection is a backup that should only be used as a last resort, etc.
I hope that helps.

here is no magic solution to this problem no matter how much software want you t
o think there is. They do their very best to make claims up front and have lots
of conditions hidden in the fine print.
First all this is designed to combine 2 different internet connections. No matte
r what you do if you only buy say 5m from your ISP you will only get 5m. So if w
hat you are trying to do is use 2 different wireless nic cards to connect to the
same router you are wasting your time. Even if you could accomplish that it wil
l give you no benefit since a single wireless is almost always faster than most
people internet.
What most this is designed to do is say you have a DSL connection at 3m and a mo
bile broadband connection at 4m you can attempt to run both to attempt to use th
e 7m you pay for.
There are 2 way to do this and both have major restrictions that must be address
es.
The first way just runs some traffic on one connection and some other traffic on
the other. You for example could watch 2 normal def netflix movies at the same
time one on each connection. What you can not do is combine them together and wa
tch a hidef video stream that needs 6m.
You have 2 different IP so to everyone on the Internet it appears as though you
are 2 different people/computers. Connectify is a software that makes doing this
easier. It can all be done with the ROUTE command. In either case you really ha
ve to know what is going on and configure things. Many game programs for example
use 1 server to authenticate and another to play the game. So if you log into t
he authentication server using 1 connection and attempt to play the game with th
e other the game company will think someone is trying to hack into your account
and prevent it. No software can know how every game company or bank or whatever
is setup so you will have to constantly tune this so these groups of servers alw
ays use the same connection.
The second way is what speedify is. It attempt to hide the 2 ip address problem
by sending all the traffic to a central location and then change the IPs so both
appear to have the same ip. This actually can work fairly well if both the conn
ections are similar. The problem is that if the data is split into 2 connections
that have different delays to location. A example would be you sell a machine y
ou take apart into 2 boxes. One box you ship on a airplane to a remote city and
the other you give to a guy on a bicycle to deliver. Even though you get the fir
st box quickly you still must wait for the other one to rebuild the machine and
deliver it to the customer. It was only as fast as the slowest connection.'
This is the major issue since there always is some difference in the speed of th
e connections. This is also something you must pay someone else to do for you. Y
ou have the costs to go to the remote location to combine the 2 connections and
then a special device to solve this delay problem. What many of these VPN servic
es do to try to save money and hide the fact that you have to wait for the slowe
st connection. They just make no attempt to solve the issue of the data arriving
out of order and the large delays. This would be the same as if in my example y
ou just sent the part of the machine to the customer that was delivered by the a
irplane and never bother to tell him there was another part coming via bicycle.
The customer would get made and cancel the order and tell you to resend it.
The vast majority of these VPN connections things used to combine data have this
issue of out of order data because of the costs or putting in machines at their
location to put the data back into order. The PC interrupts this as data loss i
n the network and requests retransmission and if it gets bad enough will close t
he sessions.
It would almost be as fair to say you can't combine 2 different internet connect
ions for the people who only read the large print. The true answer is someplace
inbetween and requires a educated consumer.
