I run personal server at home. My LAN ISP provided a static IP and ~20 Mbits/second upload speed. But the download is really slow. I also have an ADSL connection with dynamic IP but very good download speed. I use adsl through wifi (ADSL modem+wireless router)
Is there anyway to use both these connections in a single server to sum up the bandwidth? Or, to use both these connections at the same time? Is this possible in virtual mode (using virtualbox) ?
Best Answer
Yes, you can route certain connections on one interface and other types on another. For example, you can have all incoming traffic originating from the Internet routed through your static IP while have all outgoing traffic originating from your home go through your dynamic IP. However, the details are extremely complex and I would recommend that you read up and understand some networking fundamentals and then go on to LARTC to get more details on how to do it in Linux.
