Openweb Question

[hj2k_x]

With a tunnel, it should work (most things will).. but whether it is an intended use of the service is another story

Yes, i assumed it would eat a lot of bandwidth? And that is not the idea of openrouter...

Like Ive said before.. a service like this relies on the fact that browsing is an idle-active-idle application. The question is, where do u draw the line between browsing and downloading... we need a something concrete from OpenWeb to come to any sort of conclusion on the matter

I have an ADSL modem (Actually billion router) that runs in bridged mode, i.e., does not establish any PPPoE connections itself. Connected to that I have a linux box with two NICs. The linux box makes two PPPoE connections via the Billion modem at the same time.

Then I set up routing rules (thanks to antib0dy for that) that route connections to local IP addresses via a capped IS account (local only) while all other traffic (i.e., international) goes via SAIX. Basically I use the IS account's international portion until capped, and after I am capped I start the second PPPoE to SAIX's prepaid account to ensure I still get international connectivity.

After the linux box, I have a 4-port WLAN router which handles the lan and routes all connections to the linux box. So actually linux box is simply an additional step betwen the lan and the bridged-mode modem so it does not matter whether user devices are connected via cable or WLAN.

And if you dont have a seperate PC to use as a router, you can also use ant1b0dy's RouteSentry app, works just as well.

Hey Friends,

OpenBrowse is currently a browsing only proxy. No downloads of any sort are encouraged.

However, at idle times, some downloads may be allowed, however, the service is not designed for that.

I hope it clears things up a bit.

Kind regards
