Hi, Those of you, who use Cable Internet, are probably aware of the fact that you need to create a static route (with the 'route' or 'ip' utility) to your ISP's PPTP server.
This Perl script wraps 'pptp' and creates/removes this static route for you. Simply replace your existing 'pptp' command with 'pptp-routed' and you no longer need to track whatever changes your ISP does to its configuration, or write annoying startup scripts, especially if your ISP has multiple round-robin PPTP servers (e.g. NetVision). URL: http://www.iglu.org.il/~future/pptp-routed Technically, it figures out the route you use to reach the PPTP server when connecting, and creates a static route to the PPTP server for the duration of the connection (when the default route would be overridden by pppd). Microsoft's VPN dialer does this automatically and I'd love to see this functionality merged into pptp itself. -- Share and enjoy! ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
