Bonding Layer Showdown: Speedify vs Self-Hosted

Daniel wants a verdict: should he use Speedify or a self-hosted solution like OpenMPTCProuter for bonding multiple internet connections on his travel router? This episode breaks down what a bonding layer actually does, why no commercial product offers the "own both ends" licensing model he imagined, and delivers a specific two-hop architecture recommendation. We cover Speedify's proprietary protocol and opaque infrastructure, OpenMPTCProuter's full control but real maintenance burden, and why the middle ground between them is harder to find than it seems.
