What are /r/speedify's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

You need another pc, like a raspberry pi or windows, to Speedify merge all your connections, then create a Wi-Fi network. For windows you need speedify’s other product connectify, and on raspberry pi supposedly the Speedify app alone can create a Wi-Fi (although I did not have success). Then on your personal pc, you should be able to connect to this newly created speedified Wi-Fi network, and connect to your second vpn.

Motcp still requires an endpoint that supports it, which isn’t very common yet these days. Speedify is a good option, but a homebrew option would also be ZeroTier load balancing if you also have a destination gateway out on the internet somewhere.

I have resolved the installation issue. To have Speedify successfully share the LAN interface you have to install network-manager per the instructions.

> sudo apt install network-manager

But the instructions don't mention that for 22.04 you need to edit . Once I changed the renderer line to be NetworkManager and rebooted, speedify was able to configure eth0 for connection sharing

> cat

network:
version: 2
renderer: NetworkManager
ethernets:
eth0:
dhcp4: true

It's working almost like a charm:

1) When you wake up your Mac from sleep - you need to wait around 20 seconds until the Internet will start working again with Speedify. It's faster to switch Speedify off and on again

2) UI is glitchy, if you use Windows location: Menu Bar

3) Speedify is Intel app, hope that Silicon will be released soon

4) Sometimes WebRTC calls are not recognized as streams, for example on the big language learning platform

Apart from it - it saved me soo many times!

I just tried it for the first time. One link from Starlink and the other from a Verizon LTE router. Without Speedify each one will download 40-50 Mbps. Bonding both with Speedify slowed things to a 1Mbps crawl.

Still looking into what I did wrong. This is using the Streaming setting

To install Speedify in SmoothWAN, setup at least one WAN gateway for internet access, go to Speedify configuration menu, enter the URL in the hint, click Save and Apply, then "Install/Update now". Check the logs tab for progress. All done. Login to Speedify and configure as you would in the official Speedify app at Status->Overview tab.

>Is it better in this case to sacrifice some speed over two USBs, or is it better to keep speed, over of some HUB - using USBC.

Haha :)

Nice collaboration, but thank you for the professional approach to the topic, but I think I prefer a simpler answer, but nevertheless, based on your knowledge!
So:
Is it better in this case to sacrifice some speed over two USBs, or is it better to keep speed, over of some HUB - using USBC. ;)
So what is better to choose under the Speedify aggregation:
- Seeed board, were is a USB 3.0 chip on the PCI Express bus, and a Microchip LAN7800 USB to Gigabit Ethernet NIC on that bus. [slower LAN]
- DFRobot board, there is a Realtek 8111h Gigabit NIC directly attached to the PCIe lane
[USB C to 2x USB A hub required] [much faster LAN]

that's amazing! so you're saying you could assign one particular client to pass-through, only use one of the connections, and not use the Speedify exit-node? That would be a huge help for what I want in my home network, I would like my little home server to bypass Speedify and just use my primary (slow, unmetered) connection, while all the devices on the network get a speed boost by having an LTE connection or two bonding in Speedify.

Generally, Speedify works best at 400mbit not more, if you're bonding few hundred mbit connections then your connection is stable enough and wont be using any of the smart SDWAN features that Speedify offers, you can use MPTCP or Glorytun in this case.

You definitely have to watch today's live stream on building a bonded Internet router on a Pi with Speedify: https://speedify.com/event/speedify-live-presents-diy-time-raspberry-pi-bonding-router-for-streaming/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=speedify-live

I don't know of any official routers that support Speedify. When people say they are running Speedify as a router, the only option I'm aware of is to run Linux on a mini pc that has multiple NICs and run it as a router. I ran it as a router on a Raspberry Pi with Multiple VLANs through a managed switch to facilitate my 2 ISPs for a few months. It worked pretty well. I recently switched to a FITLET Mini PC that has 4 NICs (My old pfSense) a few weeks ago to see if that would have better performance. I saw a slight performance increase. Protectli makes some decent mini pc hardware that is built specifically with router/ firewall software in mind. I might upgrade to that eventually.

It is 5 devices running the VPN software to connect. Your Raspberry Pi would count as one, no matter how many devices were behind it. If you then installed Speedify on a phone, and connected it to wifi + LTE, that would be a 2nd VPN connection out of your 5.

Do you have a recommendation for something better?

I'm seeing it all depends on which one of their servers you connect to. Also, sometimes I get a 75% reduction on download, and a 400% boost on my upload. Other times I get a 75% boost on both. I do though see a 90% reduction on both when I stay connected to a server for longer that 8 hours.(Testing DL speed from San Francisco connected to Speedify in Freemont)

it should work to uninstall it from windows apps? Just did myself.

Cause Speedify is horrible...

Having some issues with my wifi i tried it out and got the worst of both worlds.
Over wifi i got a stable 20-30ms connection, except for once a minut or so where the connection stops for a full second.
Over cellular i got 50-120ms.
Using Speedify i got both a slow 100-120ms connection and plenty of full out drops...
