Alex from Speedify here. Yes, exactly, we have swarms of redundant servers. The servers are very reliable, but in case of failure, you're on another server in 30 seconds.
Your comment makes me realize we may need more options on what to do when the connection fails. Security-types had us add a "kill switch" to make sure traffic couldn't get out when the encrypted tunnel fails. But if you don't care about that, another option to guarantee it would go right out, would make sense too.
- mithro 5y agoDoes Speedify have an open source client? I'd be interested in paying for the service but not willing to run closed source software locally and then send all my traffic to it.
- ghuntley 5y agoUse Speedify as the underlay network then run a self-hosted VPN on top (configure in the UniFi Dream Machine Pro). :)
- AlexGizis 5y agoThat works, and has been done before. It can be confusing to run Speedify and the VPN client on the same box, but if there's a Speedify router box with the internet, and another box with the VPN client, it should just work.
- sgtnoodle 5y agojust from reading the article, it sounds like speedify does a lot of packet inspection to prioritize traffic. Wouldn't a VPN negate that?
- AlexGizis 5y agoNot at this point, sorry.
- Femur 5y agoHey Alex, Just wanted to drop in this thread and let you know I think you have an awesome product and I have been happily using speedify for almost a year now. I hope you keep up the great work and are able to keep growing!
