Hi! I have currently two internet connections which are both 10mpbs. I was wondering if I could combine both of these connections with my Freedome VPN software to get faster speed. I know Speedify already does this, but it costs 200€ for a year and it doesn't have a server in my country. I also don't want to use load balancing, because it doesn't make my internet faster when watching videos or when playing games.

You are just trading one problem for another. What happens when you actually attempt to load balance traffic by packet you get packets out of order. The end stations see this as lost packets...they assume the packet will always arrive in order. The end stations can tolerate some of this but if you were to get spikes of out of order data the session will actually drop. Game programs hate this and it causes lag in games.

If you read the fine print on speedify they actually admit this problem exists which the vast majority of the services do not. Their solution is to transmit the data on both links.....ya sure transmit 2 times the data when the whole purpose is to try to increase the bandwidth.

You can not just use a normal...

You can not just use a normal vpn service they must offer the bonding feature. Unless they have very special software to solve the out of order problem you will have issues getting full rates.

The cheapest way to do this actually is to get a VPS service and load your own VPN on the server. There are a couple ways to do this. You can also fix the out of order problem for certain applications by forcing all the traffic on just one of the links.
