Route Sentry Description

Route Sentry is specially created for South Africans who want to make use of 2 ADSL accounts on the same PC at the same time Most people are put off using such a setup due to the inconvenience of having to manually set up the IP routing tables after each new connection (due to ISP's allocating dynamic IP addresses). Route Sentry makes it easy. It will monitor your 2 connections and automatically route South African traffic through the "local" account while directing all other traffic through the "international" account. It will automatically reconnect if either connection is dropped (which at the moment happens at least once every 24 hrs) and keep traffic flowing through the correct connections even if the IP addresses are changed after reconnecting. It should also be noted that the modem does not have to be directly connected to your PC as this protocol will work just as well if the modem is connected to a hub or switch on your network. This makes it possible to share the modem between different PCs on your network for different simultaneous PPPOE connections. Important: You must set the number of lines (WAN endpoints) in the PPPOE protocol properties to 2 or more otherwise you will get an error that the device is busy when you try to “dial” the second connection. When testing the connection for the first time you must select the ‘save password’ option on the “Connect” dialog, otherwise Route Sentry won’t be able to automatically connect for you. Warning: If you previously used your ADSL modem in router mode you wouldn’t have had to worry too much about your PC being vulnerable to internet threats as the modem itself would have acted as a firewall. Using the modem in “modem/bridge” mode; however, means that your PC will be directly connected to the internet when next you “dial up”, so making use of a software firewall is highly recommended (such as the built in Windows XP firewall). One account has to be used for local access only and the other for international.
