I have reached the end of domestic tolerance for all the OMR funny stuff. I have switched back to plain old OpenWRT and will have another try at Mwan3 until I get some time alone at home to work on this. I am not sure about how to restart the VPS but will give it a try this weekend. I will also ...

We have lost all streaming services because they block VPN/VPS connections. The wife has demanded that the OMR experiment end. I have tried to use the OMR Bypass function using domain names, ASN numbers, source MAC address, source IP address all with no success (no bypass).

It's true the ...

Presently my network is connected to Starlink using the Starlink Ethernet adapter (dongle). I am using a RPi-4 as the router via a USB3 Ethernet adapter with the stock Ethernet port connected to my LAN (8 port switch). The installation of OpenWRT and startup was anything but smooth but is now ...

OK, this is my third try to reply.
Thank you for the info.

The new V2 rectangular dish that is shipping to all U.S. customers now does not have a wired ethernet port. You must buy a wired ethernet dongle that installs between the dish and the router to get a wired port. The problem is that they ...

We just received Starlink and want to integrate it into our network while keeping our LTE connection to smooth over Starlink dropouts.

The cost of a Peplink or Speedify is really too high for us to use so an open source solution is the only thing practical for us. Is OpenMPTCP the only open ...

oh, @bnh2, I've been pondering the 'network of gateways' thing you do with each modem/router on it's own subnet using VLANs.

if all the WAN r00ters are on the same physical ethernet, couldn't one also just give each r00ter a separate ip all on the same subnet? eg, 192.168.1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 ...

cool, thanx for that input! Any benefits/preference for modems in their own router boards (eg: mikrotik rbm33g or 11g connected to the OMR via ethernet) Vs. USB modems only connected directly to the OMR (using the OMR's USB port/s ala Rooter)? I read you've used the ethernet/vlan route, but ...

I have an old spare 'media' mini PC sitting around with these specs

Device name AOpen_DE965-HG
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6600 @ 2.20GHz 2.20 GHz
Installed RAM 3.00 GB (2.87 GB usable)
System type 32-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Could this support those speeds as VPS ...

Cool! I've been experimenting with running speedify on my laptop to bond my ATT Tablet plan ( Quectel RM502Q-AE ) , T-Mobile One Plus International ( Telit LM960 ) and T-Mobile One Plus International ( Smartphone tethering ). I might look into doing this eventually, it would be cool to have it all ...

This is like a DIY version of speedify? Why choose this over speedify or vice versa?

It's been a couple of years since I tested Speedify, but the performance was not nearly on par with what you can do with OpenMPTCProuter. Speedify is also much more oriented towards running on an individual ...

I am currently trying to set up a mini desktop as my local OMR, and whenever i plug the device into my switch (using eth0), it doesn't seem to connect to the network at all. the port is blinking orange continuously. any idea what I need to do / what the issue is? all the other devices on the ...

Has anyone used their residential internet to set up the VPS? I have gig fiber at home but travel in the RV so wouldn't mind hosting it at the house (and avoiding the fun with the domain blocks). Hadn't had much luck making getting to to connect to a local Ubuntu instance with port forwarding ...

I thought about that as sort of a last resort. As I have many port-forwards, other routing/firewall configurations plus an Asus mesh system that I would need to accommodate. I've resisted up to now as I'm familiar with the Asus (w/Asuswrt-Merlin OS) and have not been too befuddled by it's somewhat ...

I'm trying to get my streaming device on my local network to bypass the bonding function and go direct out the master connection. The WAN side of my router receives it's IP (192.168.100.2) via DHCP from the OMR device. The LAN side of my router dishes out 192.168.0.xxx addresses, The IP of my ...

Wow. This information is amazing! Thank you!

Question for the OP or anyone else with experience: using these tools, is it possible to track data usage on one WAN and completely failover to another once a cap is hit? I'd like to combine a wireless line of sight ISP which is capped daily with an ...

Are you guys suggeting that MikroTik RBM33G be openmptcrouter? I ask as that was what I thought and I do not see a download image for it?

We're not suggesting that -- and it's not powerful enough. Everything we've been talking about related to the RBM33G, is for downstream routers -- on the WAN ...

I currently am running it on the wrt3200 with their precompiled image. Wifi is very flaky on the wrt3200 and always has been with openwrt for some reason. It auto sets the switch to where the wan is lan and the 4 lans are wans. This works great like this. On to my issue. I compiled for my netgear ...

Things have changed for us here in the far reaches of the Colorado mountains -- we now have fiber!

It's been a few weeks now, and I'm still liking having OMR in the mix, despite our new found Internet riches. I've always had two WiFi networks setup, one that uses OMR and another that doesn't. House ...

Thank you! It's finally all working on the bench. Just hit 60Mbps down! Hopefully can do even better once these are hooked up to the good antennas out at the barn.

The current network diagram looks a little something like this. I am really starting to enjoy experimenting with VLANs now that they ...

Ok. I jumped on the wagon here and setup openMPTCP using Vultr and a linksys wrt3200. I have a cba820/em7565 sprint on wan1 and a netgear nighthawk att on wan2. Everything seems to be working great but now im trying to get all my streaming services, online gaming, and plex/ombi servers working ...

I received my RBM33G's and flashed one of them. Installed m.2 to PCIe adapter and my EM12-G modem, did the normal modem setup setting APN and TTL. But the interfaces seem to not have all the necessary protocol extensions? I am using the 2019-03-10 ROOter build you linked. I flashed the "factory ...

Last question (for now): When using the M.2 to mPCIe adapter, do I need one with a SIM slot or can I still use the SIM slot on the board itself?

I recommend the adapters without a SIM slot, but I've occasionally had to use the others due to availability issues. In those cases, the slot on the ...

This guide is good for flashing the RBM33G of RBM11G, just skip ignore anything to do with puTTY and a serial cable -- use the reset button to put the unit in netboot mode instead:

https://www.ttl.one/2018/08/installing-openwrtrooter-on-rbm33grbm11g.html

Getting the board in netboot mode is ...

So you cannot use an m.2 modem directly in the available m2 slot?

The other nice thing is it looks like I can ditch the PoE splitters I was using too.

I already have 2 nice NEMA encloures I can put them in, only concern is securing the antenna pigtails in some way since I won't have any ...

Oh, and the RBM11G is a nice (and cheaper) board too -- it's the 33G with a single Ethernet port and single mPCIe slot.

The RPi 3B+ makes an awesome Kodi (OSMC) box, Pi-hole DNS server or low-power Linux (Raspbian) file server by the way -- I've got at least half-a-dozen in daily use on my LAN!

Oh wow that microtik device looks awesome. Do you plug the modems into it directly instead of over USB then? Sucks that I wasted so much time and money on raspberry pis, usb enclosures, sd cards, adapters, etc but if these are as good as the look, definitely worth another $100 after everything I ...

I am having doubts about the ability to power the pi+modem off PoE, or at least with the switch I got, so I might just need to bite the bullet and do some wiring regardless.

I think you're on the right track with the network architecture you have in mind, with the cellular routers in the barn ...

Wondering if you ever ran into any latency issues with the VLAN on a ROOter device? For some running in this configuration is giving me latency spikes. Even just pinging from OpenMPTCP router directly to the ROOter device. More info here if you are curious: https://github.com/Ysurac ...

In the meantime I noticed something strange... I wanted to disable WiFi on the ROOter device to cut down on extraneous networks floating around. Although I can access the configuration page at 192.168.3.1 I cannot actually save any configurations, it just times out and appears to be redirecting me ...

In your initial post you said you have posted about the "network of gateways" approach elsewhere and so did not go into depth on it. I checked out your post history, but was unable to find it. Can you provide a link?

My main concern is I am wondering if there is anything I need to do in R00ter to ...

Kind of feeling like the village idiot, can't figure this out for the life of me.

I have 3 WG3526. They are all connected to an intel box with 6 ports running OpenMPTC router. I am using POE...so all are connected via the WAN port to power them.

Everything is working great....the one thing I ...

For some unknown reason (for now), tracebox report Multipath disabled for some ISP that are in fact correctly aggregated. When multipath is really blocked, the connection is not used at all and you have only bandwidth used by ICMP ping test visible in bandwidth graph.

That explains the mystery ...

Gotcha....I see it is enabled.

So, Verizon fails the Mulipath TCP test. When I look at the realtime bandwidth usage, it is definitely being used for data...with slightly less throughput then the two ATT accounts.

Is it worth it to turn on the VPN option for the Verizon connection? If so ...

Hello again,

I'm trying to understand how the VPN works on OpenMPTCP. Then I login, there are 4 options: DSVPN; MLVPN, OpenVPN, GLorytun (Which I believe is a proxy server).

It seems like when I activate any of these VPN's...a message pops up "VPN connection is down" on the summary page ...

TMobile, ATT, Verizon.

VPS is @ primary residence with Google Fiber.

Sweet!

BTW, you should have your most reliable, fastest connection set as "Master" though -- which isn't T-Mobile, based on your previous posts.

I'll have a MOFI SIM7 and two WG3526-P feeding into a Qotom running OpenMPTCP router Any advice on how to have these three feed into the Qotom? Maybe in bridge mode?

Two options seem best to me here:

Either, run each cellular router to its own Ethernet port on the Qotom. For example, your LAN ...

I'm currently running the vultr $10/mo plan that features 1 core, 2GB ram, 2TB bandwidth? Do you think I need to bump it up and see what happens?

I'm on the 1 core, 1GB RAM and 1TB of monthly usage plan, and I've been able to hit 230Mbps. However, that seems to be my top end -- so next time I ...

I've yet to see anything better than ~150 down even using 4 separate LTE WAN providers. Not sure if the pi4 is the bottleneck or not.

I think you'll find that your VPS is the bottleneck. Try adding more RAM or cores, one or the other (or both), should get you a higher top end. It's fun to go ...

I really was hoping the Protocols and Services would do the trick. It works for Netflix but Prime Video only works sometimes. Disney+ and HBOGO and HBOMAX are not listed and I'm not sure which other list would be similar.

If Protocols and Services would be better for you, I'd suggest reporting ...

Would Netflix Prime etc block you if you had a site to site VPN setup to your primary residence 60 miles away? I've got gigabit at our primary residence and have thought about running the VPS at the main house given the ample bandwidth (although I don't have a static IP there).

I can't imagine ...

Our streaming services such as Netflix, Prime and HBO Max will not function (blocked by the shrive provider). I believe it's from the VPN function or the IP on the VPS side. I'm using Vultr state side in New Jersey. My ip is 45.77.xx.xx.

Anyone run it this and what route did you take to get past ...

I'm going to start playing with it. Wish me luck, getting in over my head. There may be some used gear for sale if I fail:)

The nice thing about an "industrial pc" (like the Qotom) configured like a router, is that it can be used for many purposes. Though I doubt you'll need to vector away from ...

Verizon blocks multi-cast packets

You got me thinking with this post! A little off topic, but probably worth clarification in case somebody stumbles across this in the future:

Multicast IP and Multipath TCP are not the same thing. From Wikipedia:

Multicast

In computer networking, multicast is ...

Hey, bhnf2!

Can you confirm you have had no luck with Verizon yet?

Unfortunately, it's my best provider so far.

thx!

I'm not entirely sure what to say about Verizon. I don't use my Verizon SIM that often, but I am using it at the moment. As I reported way-back-when, Verizon does appear to ...

If it wasn't for this post I would have never known of this. I'm extremely surprised that this isn't a MUCH more popular thread honestly

Glad you found the post useful! I'm amazed too at the relatively modest interest in what OpenMPTCProuter has to offer.

I'm currently in an area with very ...

Would be appreciative if you could recommend a VPS/hosting company?

Hard to argue with Vultr, if you're in the U.S -- my current OMR VPS is running me $5/mo. Use whichever of their datacenters that's closest to you.

Otherwise, have a look at the list of tested platforms in the OMR ...

I have dealt with load balancing/ failover configurations and a couple of times was thinking about multiple WAN aggregation scenarios but somehow every time in the end I simply could not justify the cost & complexity to achieve a decent result. Instead, every time I just switched to a faster ...

Unfortunately 99% of non-technical users would be lost on the server setup, let alone the client/server settings

My apologies if I gave the impression that this was an "anyone can do it" sort of post. There's little documentation on OMR, and no step-by-step guides for deploying it, so for anyone ...

There are definitely plenty of good applications for the TP-Link multi-WAN, fail-over, load-balancing router. However, what that box does and what OpenMPTCProuter does are not the same thing. OMR is true link aggregation, i.e. if you have two Internet connections where each speed tests at 50 Mbps ...

And here's the follow-on post I did, about a month later, after moving to the x86 router box:

If you missed my original post on this amazing upgrade to your ROOter setup (assuming you have at least two decent sources of Internet available), you might want to have a look at this post first whrl.pl ...

Here's another post I did earlier this year on the ROOter forum, which is now a bit difficult to find. I did this post in late January, and I've since moved from the Raspberry Pi 4B to a Qotom x86 (i3) industrial PC with 4x gigabit Ethernet ports, 2x USB3 and 2x USB2 ports. OpenMPTCProuter needs an ...

I posted this on the ROOter forum too, but given the single thread nature there, tutorials tend to get lost in the clutter. So, starting with this post -- I'm going to post guides here too for some additional staying power. :-)

If your network consists of a mix of different operating systems, and ...

Do you know if that adapter can be purchased anywhere? Not finding it on Google.

The AT commands match my understanding, however if you look at the technical spec for the MC7455 you'll see that each of the two addressable SIM slots has a separate set of mPCIe pins assigned to it. Have you actually tested using two different SIM cards, and switching between them? I hope you're ...

Has anybody here figured out to make use of the dual SIM capabilities of the MC7455 and EM7565?

This would be incredibly useful for us full-time RVers (and others of course) that are frequently swapping SIM cards. It appears both modems utilize a second set of pins on their respective interfaces ...
