Home network benefit?

(1/2) > >>

q8reflex:
Hi, Was wondering if you could answer few questions.

- Will WANos benefit a small network like a home network with around 20 devices connected and 20mbit connection?

- I understand that you need two WANos's connected together, my aim is to have a point-to-point setup and test the whole thing for some time. My question is, Which ISO image do i need to upload to some known hosting companies like DigitalOcean or VULTR?

- The benefits would vary greatly based on the type of data sent across the link. Is this for general home Internet traffic?

- KVM based hosting providers would normally need the RAW disk image. Usually with hosting providers, the networking setup is the challenging part, hence start with tunnel mode.

q8reflex:
Thank you for your reply. It's just the normaly average internet usage, mostly mobile smartphones and tablets used for video watching, surfing, online gaming and so. Would you recommend any hosting company for that matter? i normally use DigitalOcean and VULTS but the latter seems better in terms of network performance and scalability.

Hi,

I suspect due to the cost of the hosting + the 20 Mbps license, it is not a good match for a consumer broadband link.

What is the main challenge with the current 20 Mbps link?

q8reflex:
Sorry for the late reply,

- 20 Mbps is fine for our usage.
- Hosting will be as VPS, nowadays it's kind of affordable.

No main challenge for our home network except our location being in middle east which suffers from a lot of packet loss at peak times. Assuming our hosting uplink Wanos server will be somewhere in europe, this takes us back to the first question in this topic:-

* Will this setup (Wanos in tunnel mode) will improve our network quality?
* Will we get better throughput, latency, security, etc?

Thanks
