Do you use VPN? So surely you had cases when it was necessary to perform some action after the VPN-connection has been established, for example to run some programs.

Example of use

Let's say you work in your home network and you need to establish VPN-connection to access the corporate network of your company. However, you want to use an access to the internet through your ISP, and use a VPN only to access the corporate network.

Assume that your PC in your ISP has got 10.10.20.5 IP-address, and a corporate network of your company uses 10.50.50.9 and 192.168.112.32 IP-adresses correspondently. Assume also that 1.1.1.1 is your VPN-gateway and 1.1.1.2 is your VPN-connection IP-address.

If you specify "use as default route" in VPN-connections settings window, then access to the Internet will be through the VPN, a corporate network of your company. If you do not enable this option, you can not get to the above addresses of the computers in your corporate network.

So what should you do? With Anseko NetCatcher it could be solved very easily:

- Turn off the option "use as default route" in the settings of VPN-connections
- Choose the name of your VPN-connection in a window NetCatcher "Network Interfaces"
- Write commands

route add 10.10.20.5 mask 255.255.255.255 $IP
route add 10.50.50.9 mask 255.255.255.255 1.1.1.1

in a window NetCatcher "onUP"

- Press "Apply" button

That's it! Now, routes will be added automatically when VPN-connection is established. Instead of IP you can use $IP and $GW - NetCatcher will replace them with actual value.
