Abstract
While more and more people today have a fast Internet connection, there are plenty of other people that do not. The aim of this project is to create a solution that combines multiple Internet access points (such as Wifi or mobile devices) into one single faster Internet connection, that it is easy to use, and fast to configure.
Highscores
First things first: this section is reserved for the highest download speed that we managed to obtain in our office. Without booster our WIFI's download speed reaches ~34Mbps, but with booster... 🎉
Installation
(Windows is not yet supported)
Binary
Pick your release.
Snap
Note: at the moment booster is not able to bind to an interface that points to an Apple device without root privileges. To overcome the issue install the snap as root.
You can always inspect the logs using:
snap logs booster -f
From source
First install go, then type this commands into your command line:
git clone https://github.com/booster-proj/booster.git && cd booster # Clone
make test # Test
make # Build
Usage
Recap: when booster spawns, it identifies the network interfaces available in the system that provide an active internet connection. It then starts a proxy server that speaks either socks5 or http. According to some particular strategy (still not configurable), and a set of policies (configurable), the server is able to distribute the incoming network traffic across the network interfaces collected.
Note that booster runs as daemon when installed through snap, otherwise you'll have to start it manually:
bin/booster
Note: get help with the --help flag.
Once started, booster can be remotely controller through its public HTTP Json API. The documentation is available in the Wiki.
