How to config Windows load balancing with multiple IP addresses on the same network interface?

Question

I'm using a network with a speed limit per IP. So I want to join multiple IP addresses to To increase Download speed.

Windows has this multi-IP option link

How can I Merge these IP addresses so I can use them simultaneously?

[Update]

I managed to download using two different IPs at the same time.

Using ForceBindIp V1.31 and assigning the second IP to Firefox, I manage to download simultaneously.

Now I just need a load-balancing system to put together these connections. (My idea is to find a load-balancing proxy client!)

[Answer for windows server 2008 (Or maybe 7 and 8)]

Using windows server 2008 (Or maybe 7 and 8) you can use this article to actually solve this problem. But as I am on Windows 10, I can't really use that article. (Don't know really if it work on the same network adapter!)

Answer 1

Is it theoretically possible?: Yes (By combining ForceBindIP, a Proxy and a Load Balance Engine).

Is it possible Now?: No!

The only way to MERGE them in windows is "NIC Team" available in Windows Server 2012 and up, which needs multiple "Link Per Interface", (Check Here and Here if you want to enable it on windows 8, 8.1, 10...) and in expensive network infrastructure devices you find "Link Aggregation" which virtually works the same way. As stated by Microsoft the idea of assigning multiple IP addresses to one interface in windows was to eliminate the need of changing IP address in case you routinely migrate to different networks (e.g. Home, office, cafe...), or when you need more than 1 IP on the same network (e.g. accessing two different subnets). But, there are expensive infrastructures where you can randomly, or conditionally, load balance your traffic between a pool of IPs (e.g. Source NAT Pool in Juniper networks).

Answer 2

From the instructions you linked, it looks like you hit add in the top box and put in another ip address in the same range. But, if the network uses DHCP to assign addresses, that will possibly lead to conflicts. Try using a high number like .235 as the last part of the ip address if that happens.

Otherwise, you need 2 network cards with one ip each.

In my experience, Windows isn't good at aggregating links. You might also need software such as Speedify (speedify.com)
