I'm running two linux servers with Ubuntu 18.04.

I want to connect them to act like this:

 +----------+      +----------+
 | Server 1 |      | Server 2 |
 +---eno1---+      +---eno2---+
      |                 |
      |                 |
      +--------+--------+
               |
               |
          ~-~--~--~-~-
            INTERNET

Basically, I want to use the internet speed of two or more servers and then combining it to connect to the public internet with the speed of all servers. I would like to use the speed of every server on every server that is configured for my loadbalancing. Let's say I got 1Gbp/s on server 1 and 1 Gbp/s on server 2, then i want to use the 2 Gbp/s on both these servers.

Maybe someone needs to know this, these two servers have been added to a OVH vRack, that acts like a network switch.

I don't know if this is really possible. I red about network bonding, but I didn't find anything useful.

  • Thanks for your answer, but I need to connect multiple servers together. Not two network interfaces from one server.

    Your diagram is lacking devices like switches and routers. You need to provide more details on how exactly those devices are connected for people to be able to help you.

  • If the two servers are sharing an Internet connection, there is nothing to combine.

Bonding of two network adapters can achieve this configuration.

As you only have one network adapter, to create a second adapter that goes through the second computer, a far-fetched idea would be to setup a VPN server on that computer.

In that case, connecting to the VPN server will create a virtual network adapter that could perhaps be bonded to the physical one.

This solution is not simple to execute and much study will be required. I cannot give detailed instructions for constructing it.
