Anseko NetCatcher simplifies the automation of network interface actions triggered by status changes.
If you are someone who uses VPN, you may have encountered situations where it was necessary to perform certain actions after establishing a VPN connection, such as running specific programs. As a system administrator, you may find yourself having to add or remove routes when a VPN connection is established or disconnected. This is where the Anseko NetCatcher comes in handy.
With Anseko NetCatcher, performing such actions has become easier than ever before. This simple and clear interface software allows you to run any commands in network interface(s) up/down event, and it even comes with an autostart feature. Best of all, it does not require any special knowledge and it's free!
Anseko NetCatcher is an exceptional solution to various VPN-related issues. For instance, consider a situation where you need to establish a VPN-connection to access your corporate network, but you also want to use your ISP internet connection. In this scenario, your PC has an IP address of 10.10.20.5 while your corporate network uses IP addresses of 10.50.50.9 and 192.168.112.32 accordingly. Furthermore, assume that 1.1.1.1 is the VPN gateway, while 1.1.1.2 is the VPN-connection IP-address.
If you select the "use as default route" option in VPN-connections settings window, you will access the internet through the VPN's corporate network. However, if you don't enable this option, you will be unable to access the computers in your corporate network.
Here's where using Anseko NetCatcher to solve this can come in handy. To do this, turn off the "use as default route" option in the VPN-connections settings window, choose the name of your VPN-connection in a window titled "Network Interfaces," then add the following commands to the "onUP" window:
"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"
Once this is complete, click the "apply" button, and the routes will be added automatically when a VPN-connection is established. Additionally, you can use $IP and $GW instead of IP addresses, and the NetCatcher will replace them with the actual value.
Overall, the Anseko NetCatcher is an excellent tool that can help make your VPN usage a lot more manageable, efficient, and effective.
