OpenWRT - Configure Load Balancing with mwan3

In this video, we are going to configure load balancing with mwan3 on OpenWRT Luci. Mwan3 provides outbound WAN traffic load balancing over multiple WAN interfaces based on a numeric weight assignment.
There are 2 requires packages:
mwan3 - the core package for load balancing
luci-app-mwan3 - the package that enables configuration from Luci web interface

Van Tech Corner is probably the most complete OpenWRT tutorial found in YouTube. Could please do a tutorial on how to install Netdata for OpenWRT? Do u also maintain a Telegram group for discussing OpenWRT for beginners? Thanks for ur effort.

Great video, mate! Could you, please, provide a brief explanation of the difference between load balancing (perfectly shown in this video), bandwidth aggregation (or link bonding) and Multi Path TCP? Much appreciated!

Hi, do you think that the GLInet Beryl you have showed on some of your recent videos is powerful enough to do a load balance between a FTTC connection and a 4G connection with a smartphone via tethering USB ? I would like to give it a try soon.

hi, can we use wirguard with this load balancing and merg both wan for using wireguardvpn client ?
i tryed this but alwase pick one of this wans randomly and do not merg these wans together and my total banndwith is always is half, cuz using in wireguard only one wan, and loadbalancing is not working on it.if Mwan3 its not for this kind of use, do you know a solution for merging the dual wan and using for vpn like wireguard or ovpn ?
