A vpn which supports failover and multiple connections

Reinhard-VPN

A Multipath Tunneling VPN Client and Server.
Like OpenVPN, but with multiple links from Client to Server.

Properties

• The client uses several internet uplinks to connect the server, for increased throughput and connection stability
• Runs in Userspace, like OpenVPN
• Currently Linux only
• the vpn_client_and_server.pl program acts as client and server in one, depending on the configuration file

Installation (Package names are debian/ubuntu specific)

On client

git clone https://github.com/richi235/Reinhard-VPN

# installing the required perl modules:
apt install libpoe-perl build-essential libnetpacket-perl liblog-fast-perl net-tools
cpan POE::XS::Loop::Poll

# copy the config
cp dynIpClient.example.cfg /etc/multivpn.cfg

Edit the config conforming to your network setup.

About the fork

This is a fork of multipath-vpn. Main differences include:

• Improved throughput performance (about 23% higher throughput for a given CPU, see Reinhard-VPN/Benchmarks/performance-bench-kvm-test-network/ for benchmarks.)
• Reduction and better control of Packet Reordering
• Improved Code Quality and Documentation coverage
