I have several site-to-site VPNs. I connect to our main hub and access the network there via rdp over one of those site-to-site links.
However, the bandwidth isn't enough for me to complete all the work remotely, so about every quarter I have to fly to the main site, work locally, and fly back.
I've done some iperf tests and it seems there's not enough direct bandwidth between the two sites to work as fast as I want. And this is even though both sites have healthy Internet connections (25/5 and 17/3).
I've looked into Peplink and other VPN bonding products and they are just out of the price range.
I've looked into routers that could possibly bond VPN connections, but it's going to take me a month to get that up and running solid.
Since most cloud providers have regional virtual data centers, and I think a connection to one of those would be at full bandwidth. I have an idea to try connecting these two sites via a cloud service. But I want to know if someone has tried this before.
Has anyone tried connecting to a cloud service via a site-to-site connection from two different locations and using the cloud as the backhaul as opposed to the Internet? What results have you gotten? Faster? Slower? Same?
Thank you in advance for any replies.
