- For
- Android travelers using train Wi-Fi
- Worth noticing
- The reliability mode duplicates every data packet and explicitly warns that it uses twice the data.
Field notes
The page separates the connection into three modes: selecting the better network, distributing packets across both, or sending each packet over both links. It also distinguishes where traffic travels: the basic mode stays on the device, while the two more reliable modes route through a server in Germany. A separate section describes USB tethering for Mac laptops, and another addresses company VPN use.
