To increase upload speed of mobile outside of network, could multiwan support be added?
This is something you would do at router or server level. Best you can really do is either auto-failover or load balancing. Combining to wan into single throughout (bonding) is much more difficult on consumer level.
- Look into your router setting see if it supports dual-wan.
- A cheap load balance on amazon (i used to use a round robin load balancer on amazon for a while. no longer do)
- Run pfsense as router
- Bonding service such as Speedify. It works. But don't expect to double your speed.
So, what limitation is speedify. Is there a guide of how to setup channels dvr on speedify? I assume load balancer would not allow packets from two connections to go on one stream outside of network?
You would be better served by increasing your upload speed with your current provider or looking into an isp with a faster upload speed. WAN bonding is not something that you are going to get support for. Especially since channels is designed for home use...
MultiWan of two 50Mbps pipes will not give you 100Mbps of throughput, it will give you two 50Mbps pipes.
Right, but on Speedify apparently it will
If they can then more power to them.
Speedify only kind of works.
Firstly its windows only, so you have to run your server on the same windows machine. Also its essentially a VPN that combines multi wan. A lot of websites and servers ho out of their way to block VPN. So some stations may not work.
Where speedify shines is reliability. If you drop 1 wan there is no failover time. No interuption.
But you are likely only going to get marginal improvement of speed. Not doubling.
If you had 2 connections of 10mbps stable. You should expect 12-16mbps.
But if your speeds are very different, yoy might end up slower. 10mbps plus a 2mbps might get you a 8mbps.
Speedify is good in theory. But in practicality its only ok.
Wow, how many channels block VPN? I guess I can try and see.
You are barking up the wrong tree. WAN aggregation can not split a single TCP stream from a channels server to a channels client into multiple streams. You can't take a remote channels client and get the aggregate speed of 2 WAN connections. It doesn't work that way. Multi-Wan can be used for load-balancing but typically is for multiple machines that are inside your network, their outbound traffic is balanced between 2 WAN connections. What problem are you trying to solve? If it is limited upstream bandwidth then increase your ISP plan or look into a new ISP.

That's easier, but apparently speedify will bond together through VPN as stated above.
...its your time being wasted. the channels server will still only accept a single TCP stream per client. Load balancing will not work for a single client. Plus you have the overhead of a VPN. You are not gaining anything. Trying to help you not have to learn the hard way... I work for a VPN company
It should be listening on WAN (external interface), not LAN.
What do I need to do to remedy this.
On the "Source" side it shows it is listening on your LAN (local) interface. You need to change that to your WAN (external/internet) interface.
(The way you have it set up is that it only forwards requests from inside your local network.)
