<b>Load balancing</b> is used to efficiently distribute the resources of multiple Internet service providers (ISPs) on one device among many clients and connections. <b>Bonding</b> is used to utilize the resources of multiple ISPs in order to achieve higher speeds for a single connection. Therefore, load balancing is usually used to provide better service to an entire network by distributing existing resources (such as a large WiFi network), while bonding is used where having the max speed for a single connection is required (such as video streaming or large file download). | <b>Load balancing</b> is used to efficiently distribute the resources of multiple Internet service providers (ISPs) on one device among many clients and connections. <b>Bonding</b> is used to utilize the resources of multiple ISPs in order to achieve higher speeds for a single connection.

It works by establishing multiple connections over different ISPs to a VPN server. Data is sent and received over all connections and added up at the server. Thus, bonding can provide much faster data rates for a single connection. | It works by establishing multiple connections over different ISPs to a VPN server.
