The Bondix SANE client is the software that you install on your router, which establishes a connection to the [[Server|server]] using multiple WAN links. The software itself is a linux userspace program, but installation packages for different routers are available, that take care of most of the configuration.


This page covers the barebone linux application. Please check out the [[Teltonika]] page for installation & usage on these routers.
==Configuration==
Configuration is done using [https://www.json.org/ JSON] commands. These can either be sent via a raw TCP socket (localhost:5113), or written to a configuration file (in a json-array) that is parsed on start-up.
By default, SANE checks for the existence of a configuration file in its installation directory (e.g. <code>/opt/bondix/client/bondixclient.json</code>) and at <code>/etc/bondixclient.json</code>. If you want SANE to load a configuration from a different location, you can specify it using a command line parameter.
===Quick Start===
This example provides the minimal necessities to get a tunnel up and running:
<nowiki>[
    {"action": "create", "target": "tunnel", "name": "TUNNELNAME", "password": "TUNNELPASSWORD"},
    {"action": "add-server", "target": "tunnel", "host": "ENDPOINTSERVER", "port": "443"},
    {"action": "create-interfaces", "target": "tunnel", "interfaces": {
      "eth1": "mobileAggressive",
      "wwan0": "mobileAggressive",
      "wwan1": "mobileAggressive"
    }},
    {"target": "tunnel", "action": "set-preset", "preset": "bonding"}
  ]
  </nowiki>
===Configuration Commands===
For a complete reference list of available commands, see [[Client Configuration]].
===Tunnel Configuration===
Tunnels and channels have many configurable values, that are managed using [[Presets]].
=Running=
The software can be run in the shell using <code>/opt/bondix/client/saneclient</code>, where it will run in the foreground. However, it is recommended to start the service automatically on startup, which can be different depending on the platform.
===Parameters===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
|<code>--daemon</code>||Runs the software as a daemon.
|-
|<code>--nopid</code>|| Does not attempt to create a pid-file at <code>/var/run/saneclient.pid</code>
|-
|<code>--listflags</code>||Lists available feature flags
|-
|<code>--flags <FLAG1> <FLAG2>... </code>||Enables the specified flag(s). Multiple flags are separated using space.
|-
|<code></path/to/filename.json></code>||JSON configuration file that should be used
|}
===Feature Flags===
Feature flags are switches that enable certain features that are otherwise unavailable. These features are usually experimental and should be used with caution.
{| class="wikitable"
|-
|useBlake||Switches from SHA256 to the "blake" hashing algorithm.
|-
|useBlake3||Switches to the "blake3" hashing algorithm.
|-
|disableHash||Disables hashing completely
|-
|useMMSG||uses useMMSG linux socket API to send & receive multiple UDP packets at once.
|-
|channelRoutes||Makes the client create specific routes for each channel. Experimental, do not use.
|-
|bondingProxy||<s>Enables the TCP [[Bonding Proxy]]</s>. Now always enabled
|}
==bndutil==
bndutil is a command line utility that allows to query and modify SANE during runtime. It uses the configuration TCP socket
<nowiki>root@Teltonika-RUTX12:/opt/bondix/client# ./bndutil
  Usage:
    bndutil [--json] <command>
              --json  switch to JSON output
 
  Available commands:
    * bndutil status
    * bndutil get
    * bndutil set <propertyName1> <propertyValue1> [propertyName2] [propertyValue2] ...
    * bndutil get-interface <index>
    * bndutil set-interface <index> <propertyName1> <propertyValue1> [propertyName2] [propertyValue2] ...
    * bndutil shutdown
    * bndutil restart
      (tunnel reset & reconnect)
  </nowiki>
==speedtest==
Speedtest is a small utility that downloads (and discards) data via HTTP(s) using one or more WAN interfaces. It is useful to compare performance of each individual interface and the combined bandwidth over SANE's virtual tunnel interface.
<nowiki>root@Teltonika-RUTX12:/opt/bondix/client# ./speedtest
  Usage: speedtest [--json] <download-url> <intf1> [intf2] ...</nowiki>
E.g., to test performance of each WAN interface directly:
<nowiki>./speedtest http://speed.hetzner.de/100MB.bin wwan0 wwan1 wwan2</nowiki>
Testing performance of the tunnel:
<nowiki>./speedtest http://speed.hetzner.de/100MB.bin tun0</nowiki>
