What Hacker News says

Dispatch-proxy lets you boot a proxy on your machine that dispatches every incoming connection to a different network interface. The possibilities are endless: * download a file through threaded downloading, effectively combining multiple connections' speed in one single file download, * create two proxies, assign to each its own interface, and run two apps simultaneously that use a different interface, * create a hotspot proxy at home that connects through Ethernet and your 4G card for all your mobile devices, * etc. Here are some instructions to quickly get started with using the proxy: 1) INSTALLATION * Install Node.JS (http://nodejs.org/). * Launch a terminal. * Run the command `npm install -g dispatch-proxy` as a power user and press Enter. It will install the `dispatch` command-line utility. 2) STARTING AN HTTP PROXY * To quickly st

art an HTTP proxy, run `dispatch start --http`. * The program will print the proxy address and port (by default localhost:8080) as well as the list of local addresses the program will be dispatching requests to. * Configure your system to use the combination address:port as an HTTP proxy. 3) LISTING ALL AVAILABLE NETWORK INTERFACES * To list all available network interfaces, run `dispatch list` * Each available network interface will be printed with a list of addresses. * Right now, the dispatch utility only supports IPv4 addresses. * If an address is marked to be "internal", then you won't be able to use it to connect to the internet. I encourage you to read the docs https://github.com/Morhaus/dispatch-proxy.
