This is an issue caused by server policies. See for instance Netflix blocking SFC
Too bad, but many servers are wary of connections from IP addresses hosted by VPN-capable server farms. Your break-out with the bonded connection provides such an IP address.
Hi! I’m encountering the same issue while using SpeedFusion for the same reason (bandwidth bonding because of low quality rural internet). We’re you able to find any solutions or work-arounds?
One alternative solution is to have a second peplink device (“speedfusion server router”) deployed at a well-connected location, and then establish a speedfusion connection between your rural device and the server.
As long as the server is not perceived as a public VPN server then you should be fine. The cost would be the additional router, and whatever it would cost you to connect the server router to the internet.
As an example, we have a non-profit helping connecting a rural community in the mountains of California. The members of the community each have a speedfusion connection to a Peplink router we have in the SF Bay metro area, and route their traffic through that hub as warranted. The hub is located at an already-well-connected place we provide, so there are no additional connection expenses.
The world perceives the connections from the mountains as actually being at a corporate (non-server-farm) IP address, and thus not something that the copyright folks worry about.
Just the usual $0.02
Cheers,
Sigurd
PS: The dual connection ability has saved everybody’s behind a number of times - most are running a combination of VZW and TMO, both of which suffer occasional outages.
Related, but not for streaming service. I turned on SpeedFusion to MUX our primary ISP with our 2ndary cellular to help level out peak times in the late afternoon. and www.bing.com DIED HARD!
most of the time, bing just says “no results try again…” sometimes may give a long list, but all the copilot is missing.
I turn off SpeedFusion and it all starts working again. turn Speedfusion back on, breaks. Off, works.
I am not even leaving my country, SpeedFusion is using a temination point in-country.
Also, note for streaming and some eccommerce sites, they are checking for browser DNS leaks and WebRTC leaks. You need to make sure you plug those browser leaks or no VPN will ‘pass’ inspection.
