Using Two Internet Connections at Once

Martin Genchevsky · Sep 28, 2015

Hello my friends, I am streamer in twitch.tv and I found streaming with a single internet is not my thing, I want the one to be running the OBS ( The software I am using to livestream ) which is uploading the video to twitch.tv. Once I do this with a single internet connection my latency in all the games goes higher. so The thing is , can I use two different connections at once? The program itself have an option to chose different networks, i am also not sure how I can chose the other one to be only for my games, browsing ( normal stuff ) and the other one only for OBS...

easy, you use windows firewall. you can set it to block access for certain programs for certain connections - see advanced settings, add custom rule, networks tab... so just block the obs for your normal connection and it will use only the secondary one

Is that the best solution ?

That would be interesting if a program had that ability normally you have to jump though hoops to get this to work.

In any case what you do is leave your main network as normal. Then you take the second internet connection and turn off the dhcp and plug the 2 routers together lan-lan. Next assign a lan ip like 192.168.1.2....assuming your main router is on 192.168.1.1

The hard part is getting your pc to send traffic to 192.168.1.2. If the app actually has that ability you can put in the IP. Otherwise you will need to use the ROUTE command to accomplish this. It should be pretty simple since you are using it for a single function. You need to look at the network tab in the resource manager and see what remote ips the encoder is talking to. You then put in ROUTER ADD commands for each of these and tell it to send the traffic to 192.168.1.2. There is a 0.0.0.0 route in the table for all other traffic that goes to 192.168.1.1 so you have do nothing for that.

you can use any firewall really, but the windows builtin firewall is the most common one... feel free to wait longer or make another thread. better yet, it takes 2 minutes for you to set this up, go and try it

- if it doesn't work for you it's another 2 minutes to remove the custom rule you made

hey, I am pretty sure the ISPN guys should know what to do, the good thing for me is that the program has built in switch for the networks
