# Requirements

*   Router with multiple WAN devices 
*   [VPN][1] or VPS supporting channel bonding driver within containers 
*   Low-overhead encryption

## Optional

*   Geo-targeting avoidance

# Configuration

*   <http://simonmott.co.uk/vpn-bonding> 
*   <https://johnlewis.ie/bonding-teaming-internet-connections/> 
*   <https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/discussion/3627/internet-bonding-with-pia-and-possibly-pfsense>

## OpenWRT Barrier Breaker

opkg update
    opkg install ifenslave # also installs kmod-bonding
    opeg install openvpn-nossl # test without SSL initially

### Configure OpenVPN tun interfaces

tun
:   layer 3 tunnel (i.e. a gateway)

tap
:   layer 2 tunnel (i.e. an ethernet switch with the associated overhead of ethernet headers)

We don't need ethernet switching so use an ip tunnel.

### Configure bonding

*   <http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/Bonding>

balance-rr
:   round-robin splits all connections across slaves

balance-xor L2
:   splits based on (src-MAC xor dst-MAC). Wouldn't work for point-to-point bonded links

balance-xor L3
:   splits based on src or dest host. Same as per-connection balancing

balance-tlb
:   adaptive load-balancing (with both ends operating tlb, should achieve the same effect as balance-alb)

Configure `/etc/network/interfaces`

iface bond0 inet static
        address 172.26.0.2
        netmask 255.255.255.252
        bond-slaves tun0 tun1
        bond_mode balance-rr

## OpenVZ - Debian 6

OpenVZ doesn't seem to create `bond0` when the bonding driver is enabled in the kernel.

Configure `/etc/network/interfaces`

iface bond0 inet static
        address 172.26.0.1
        netmask 255.255.255.252
        bond-slaves tun0 tun1
        bond_mode balance-rr

## Xen

2.6.32.28-xenU on Rimu definitely does have bonding.

$ zgrep BONDING /proc/config.gz   
CONFIG_BONDING=y
