dispatch-proxy
Advanced tools
Readme
A SOCKS5/HTTP proxy that balances traffic between multiple internet connections.
Works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.
Detailed installation instructions:
You'll need to have Node.JS >= 0.10.0 installed on your system.
$ npm install -g dispatch-proxy
To update:
$ npm update -g dispatch-proxy
You often find yourself with multiple unused internet connections, be it a 3G/4G mobile subscription or a free wifi hotspot, that your system wont let you use together with your main one.
For example, my residence provides me with a cabled and wireless internet access. Both are capped at 1,200kB/s download/upload speed, but they can simultaneously run at full speed. My mobile internet access also provides me with 400kB/s download/upload speed.
Combine all of these with dispatch
and a threaded download manager and you get a 2,800kB/s download and upload speed limit, which is considerably better :)
The possibilities are endless:
The module provides a simple command-line utility called dispatch
.
$ dispatch start
Start a SOCKS proxy server on localhost:1080
. Simply add this address as a SOCKS proxy in your system settings and your traffic will be automatically balanced between all available internet connections.
