OpenBrowse with Openweb

[mikeisreal]

hope this is the right place to post this and that it hasnt been asked before. ok, so here's the question.

We have a 5gig international account and we want to get a 30gig local account from openweb. then run routesentry to divide the bandwidth. but then i read about this OpenBrowse service which by my understanding uses local cap to browse international ie: facebook etc. Now would this work with routesentry? ie: would it know to browse off the local using openbrowse and when downloading international is needed it will use the international account?

Or would i be wasting the extra money using this service?

Thanks in advance for any help..

not from my understanding on how this works. With openbrowse you get a application that connections a single pc to the "openbrowse server" hence the use of local bandwith because its situated locally and it inturn connects you internationally.

This sounds like it works like this:

Connect local only account.
router -----> local only
router -----> no international

Then when you connect to openbrowse vpn
router ----> openbrowse -----> local
and
router ----> openbrowse -----> international

So basically all your bw will be going through that vpn. Personal experience, if you split the routing with that to not let the local traffic go through the vpn whilst connected to it, would make local sites/ect faster than through the vpn which could technically be a bottleneck.

the openbrowse app works in such a way that it runs a proxy service on your pc then sets your browser to use it for making any connections. it in turn relays that traffic to a local ip. routesentry works differently by using ip routing tables.

so if you set up your 5gig account as international in routesentry. and your 30giglocal with openbrowse as local, then all your browsing will go through local unless you disable the proxy setting in your browser, in which case it will route as specified in the ip table set by route sentry.

im not good at explaining this but it's pretty straighforward lol.
routesentry with openbrowse = redundancy imho
