Dear all !
First what a fantastic tools ! My rural ADSL (2 Mbit/s) is now usable without all the Ads, and by the whole Family.
With the Launch of the Freebox V7 in France, the SpeedPort of DeutchTelecom;, I'm asking if this kind of approach : Hybrid access aggregation of LTE and Fixe internet (ADSL or Fiber), can be do-able on Pi-hole...
If you have idea or link to help me to achieve that and eventually be able to add this kind of functionality to pi-hole, I will appreciate.
To be usable, the general idea is :
- Add 1 (or several) USB - Wifi dongle on the Rapsberry (or use the bult-in wifi if available)
- these usb-wifi dongle will connect to Acces Point created on Family smartphones
- without needed of a server side on the internet MPTCP is interesting but need a server and will be coplex to configure for users, and have a cost)
- the Pi-hole should act MORE as the first gateway for devices (not only dns server) on the network, and do a pass trought to one of the available WAN gateway (the main one by default: fixe-ADSL), or load balance to the wifi
- Even if not a TRUE aggregation, a load balancing like bonding should be simplest (networking:bonding [Wiki] or like https://www.tp-link.com/us/products/details/cat-4910_TL-R470T+.html )
- Every member in the Family as quota of bandwith in its smartphone contract, can imagine that each member allow a percentage to the "Hybrid Home network", configurable in pi-hole, a compagnon app on the smartphone (toallow or not pi-hole to use some bandwith/activate access point at home if battery ok, bandwith availble etc ...) ... sky is the limit
But start small ... if you have idea, links, heard of a similar project, let me know !
Regards,
Nicolas..
