> MultipathTCP

Can you please share more about this? I've been curious to build a router with redundant internet providers ever since I noticed certain PCEngines boards supported LTE modem modules. [0]]

I assume you're using Linux; do you wire all your modems via Ethernet and manage MultipathTCP all in your router? Any hardware offloading you're aware of/recommend?

I use OpenWrt on all my routers and switches. https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/mptcp

And I run Proxmox with OpenWrt as my router inside on a Odyssey Blue https://www.seeedstudio.com/Odyssey-Blue-J4125-128GB-p-4921..... I specially chose all these because they run on 12 volt so I don't need my inverter to power them.

I have two managed switches --one is for PoE to power all my security cameras and wireless APs in the van.

The reason I use OpenWrt and the managed switches is that it's super simple to set up VLANs. Devices such as the Starlink aren't super nice when it comes to being able to configure network settings (maybe that's changed IDK). So the ports on the switches do VLAN tagging and I'm able to segregate all the network traffic including the multiple WANs into one trunk line going into the router device (the one running Proxmox with OpenWrt).


Lovely, thank you!
