| Oct 4, 2023 at 3:36 | comment | added | J_H | @moriarty, I feel it is the traditional "small matter of programming". :-) Maybe a weekend's worth of hacking? | |
| Oct 4, 2023 at 3:10 | comment | added | moriarty | @J_H Yes, you've summarized my situation well. My question is about the writing of that code - are there any gotchas I need to worry about or is it as simple as muxing/demuxing the TCP connections? | |
| Oct 4, 2023 at 3:08 | comment | added | moriarty | @DavidT I agree Network Engineering seems like a better fit, but they consider all protocols above OSI layer 4 to be off-topic, so I guess I can't ask questions about VPNs there. | |
| Oct 4, 2023 at 2:20 | comment | added | DavidT | If you control both ends of the VPN link you just need to bond the two VPN connections - however this question is probably off topic here you may be better off with networkengineering.stackexchange.com | |
| Oct 4, 2023 at 1:46 | comment | added | J_H | It sounds like you have a firewall admin that imposes a time limit on long-lived TCP connections, and sends RSTs to tear them down. Not a typical use case for most tunneling software. Maybe the best impedance match would be for you to run a cloud (AWS?) linux server which is an OpenVPN endpoint, and then you worry about writing code that can reliably get your traffic to that linux server even in the presence of annoying RSTs. Also, separate point, if you typically see that after 90 seconds a connection gets torn down, maybe you'd like to cycle connections every 80 seconds? | |
