USB connection sharing using an Android smartphone. #1584

Closed NicksQ69 closed 3 years ago

NicksQ69 commented 3 years ago

Expected Behavior

My goal is to use my smartphone as a 4G modem and thus share the internet connection within the network to take advantage of aggregation. I connected my smartphone to my Raspberry Pi 4 using a USB cable. This one is detected. Capture d’écran 2021-02-13 223424

Next, i go to: System > OpenMPTCProuter > Configuration Wizard. I configure the new "usb0" interface. Capture d’écran 2021-02-13 223653

After this step, normally my aggregation system should benefit from the 4G connection in addition.

Current Behavior

The aggregation system with the additional 4G does not work. Capture d’écran 2021-02-13 224246

Specifications

How did you check that aggregation doesn't work ?

NicksQ69 commented 3 years ago

EN : I performed a throughput test using the speedtest.net website. With the aggregation of my 2 ADSL WANs, I get a downstream rate of about 20 mbps. When I test my internet speed with my smartphone alone on the 4G, I get a downlink speed of 30 mbps. After setting up with my two ADSL lines and my smartphone (4G), I have a downstream rate of about 20 mbps as before for my two ADSL lines.

FR : J'ai réalisé un test de débit à l'aide du site internet speedtest.net. Avec l'agrégation de mes 2 WAN ADSL, j'obtiens un débit descendant de 20 mbps environ. Lorsque je teste mon débit internet avec mon smartphone seul sur la 4G, j'ai un débit descendant de 30 mbps. Après la mise en place avec mes deux lignes ADSL et celle de mon smartphone (4G), j'ai un débit descendant d'environ 20 mbps comme précédemment pour mes deux lignes ADSL.

Use omr-test-speed to test aggregated speed, and omr-test-speed wan1 (for each interfaces), via SSH or Services->Terminal. Stop the speed test after at least 2 minutes using "Ctrl+C".

I had a very strange reaction. Here are the screenshots before connecting my smartphone to the usb port as a modem : Capture d’écran 2021-02-14 184702

You need to run test at least 2 minutes. The syntax error is a know issue on some site that happen when a website answer with multiple IPs, it's solved in develop branch so this will be solved in next release. For the last test, your connection seems to block ping. You should use another way to test if interface is up/down for this connection in omr-tracker. You can also check State->System log log about omr-tracker, it may say that connection is detected as down.

After adding it in OMR-Tracker, the result below (I did not understand everything) : Capture d’écran 2021-02-14 194349

Ysurac commented 3 years ago

It still use ping method in omr-tracker.

NicksQ69 commented 3 years ago

Yes that's right, I just corrected: image

Ysurac commented 3 years ago

httping doesn't seems to be better here... strange... you can disable omr-tracker for this connection only.

NicksQ69 commented 3 years ago

Anyway, no improvement ... do you have an idea how to solve this problem?

Ysurac commented 3 years ago

You disabled omr-tracker on the connection only ? A least this should not switch off this connection.

NicksQ69 commented 3 years ago

Yes I removed the usb0 interface on OMR-Tracker. I'll try to do some more tests, but I'm swimming in the unknown.

Ysurac commented 3 years ago

removed ? It must be added and set to none.

NicksQ69 commented 3 years ago

Yes it's true, I did it by reflex.

NicksQ69 commented 3 years ago

I enabled the MPTCP over VPN option on the usb0 interface on the configuration wizard. And it seems to work now. I can't find the real download speed that my smartphone offers when I test the speed alone, but I gained like 6 mbps when downloading ... In my opinion the problem must come from my mobile provider. image

Ysurac commented 3 years ago

It's possible that it block MPTCP, but this seems strange. Who is the provider ?

NicksQ69 commented 3 years ago

The provider is Bouygues Telecom.

Ysurac commented 3 years ago

There is no know limit on Bouygues Telecom. What is the router/dongle used ? Does it have any internal firewall ?

NicksQ69 commented 3 years ago

I tested on 3 other smartphones (based on Android) as a different brand modem, but we all have the same operator. And always the same problem.

Ysurac commented 3 years ago

Maybe blocked by IPv6 APN ? Try to force APN mmsbouygtel.com to IPv4 only on your phone.
