Is there any single socket multi wan software like speedify for pfsense?
-
I am looking to see if there is any software that can provide single socket bonded connections for multiple slower links. My fastest individual connection is usually only a few mbit/s in reality. Traditional load balancing does not help with things like HD video streaming. There is a product called speedify (http://speedify.com/) but this only runs on Windows. Any ideas?

There's a reason they charge a monthly fee - it's a service, not just software. They're tunneling your traffic all back to some datacenter of theirs somewhere and sending it to the Internet from there. For anything latency-sensitive, that'll perform worse than not using it as you're lengthening the path.
We don't have anything equivalent as a service at this time. If you have your own datacenter somewhere, there are options to tunnel your traffic similarly to that.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I guess latency would be increased … but at least I would be able to stream HD Netflix :). Oh well, would be nice if someone eventually created a package for speedify (or any other similar service) on pfsense, even for monthly fee.

It's something that's on our radar, as yeah your Netflix HD scenario could be overcome by that. Combining a service like that with easy-to-use controls over what you send across could be interesting. Nothing on the immediate road map for that, but stay tuned.

So it has been about a year now on this. Has there been any progress on something of the like?
Quick edit: I would like to setup something similar between my house and my parents. Parents run dual dsl @ 6/0.5 (Thanks AT&T!) where as I am in a more modernized part of civilization and have a modest 300/25. It would be nice to be able to tunnel their traffic through my house by creating some sort of VPN bond to my place.
