Hi-- I know this is a little bit off topic, but I was looking around the internet, asking around for where the VPN experts hang out, and was referred here. I'm on XP SP2-- I have two different gateways for tcp/ip. The "default" gateway which is a direct connection to the internet, and a second gateway which is through a PPTP VPN. Since I have two different connections to the internet, my computer has to decide which gateway to use to send/receive traffic. What I want is to map some ports to the direct connect gateway, but other ports to the VPN. So, for example, at work we have sitelicenses to various reference sites-- to access some websites, I have to go through the VPN. So, port 80 should go through the VPN. On the other hand, the VPN has high latency-- so when I want do something that requires low latency, it needs to go through the direct connection. So, to use a random example-- if I want to play World of Warcraft, I want port 3724 traffic to go through the direct connect. I've posted this question on a bazillion places, and haven't gotten any response. There _MUST_ a way to do this within XP. Thoughts: * Is there a way to make a proxy (like Privoxy) only direct its traffic through one interface rather than another? * Is there a way to make a interface only allow some ports? If I blocked 80 on the direct connect and blocked 3724 on the VPN and set them both as default gateways, maybe that would get the job done? *The program TOR, combined with Privoxy, does something very similar to this. You can have a browser, point it towards privoxy, and its traffic will go through Tor instead of over a direct connect. Maybe if I figured out how Tor does it, I could figure out how to let a VPN client do it. * I _believe_ linux can do this. Maybe I could buy a cheap linux box or run a virtual one, and set THAT up to do the routing for me. ______________________ OpenVPN mailing lists https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users |
