something to with networking plz help

Ok here's my deal

 

 

I live in a third world country

 

I have a broadband connection

 

The problem is constant and extremely unpredictable power cuts

 

I have an inverter that works but my isp doesn't have the same previlage it seems

 

So I was thinking about using 4g connection from my mobile.

 

 

 

But the problem again is that I cant use torrents on my mobile connection (coz its too expensive for torrenting)

 

 

 

So I have been thinking

 

Is there some software or some kind of trick hack quirk anything that lets me choose what an exclusive 4g connection which is accessible only by games while my broadband connection takes care of browsing and other heavy downloads

 

 

Btw I live in India

 

 

 

 

 


Tl;DR: Want to know if there's a way to use 2 different networks for pre allocated specific tasks

If you know the IP addresses  (or even the range of IP addresses) for the game servers in question, you could implement something through the "route" command in Windows.  Changing the interface for a certain IP block to the interface applicable to your 4G interface. 

 

You could run virtualization software for your browsing and heavy downloads, "binding" the VM exclusively to the interface that you want.

 

You could run a firewall / router on another machine with something like iptables, and create special firewall rules for certain ports that are applicable to gaming (and direct all the traffic elsewhere). 

 

Lots of potential approaches.
