Setup Route Sentry

Route Sentry

• Route sentry allows you to use two ADSL accounts on the same PC at the same time.
• One account is used to connect to international sites using international bandwidth.
• The other account does the same on a local platform using local bandwidth.
• Route sentry will direct local traffic through the local account and international traffic through the international account.
• Route sentry will automatically reconnect once your router drops a connection whether your IP changes or not.
