[CS-FSLUG] Raspberry Pi or Pine64 with Speedify

[Timothy Butler]

Hi, everyone,
I hope all of you are doing well!

I’ve been toying around with Speedify, which is a VPN whose primary purpose isn’t so much the VPN itself, but an intelligent network bonding system to keep the internet up — something that has been relevant for me as of late with my Charter Spectrum losing packets (or going down entirely) at inopportune times. I’ve been using Speedify this past week to fall over to my iPhone hotspot when the Internet gets bumpy… so far, so good.

So, two questions:

1.) I’m wondering if there might be a simple way to ditch the service and simply use a Raspberry Pi (or, better yet, a Pine64, since I have one of those collecting dust) to do something similar, grabbing Internet from my cell phone if the main line goes down or starts to lose packets). I’m sure it is possible, although one intriguing aspect of Speedify is the simplicity, which is nice, because the last thing you want on a project like this is for it to go down because of some messed up setting...

2.) Speedify says it supports running on a Raspberry Pi — before I purchase another one for that purpose, has anyone tried running it on one?

Blessings,
Tim
