Hey,

Here in South Africa we're faced with the high cost of international bandwidth. E.g. $200 p/m for uncapped. But we have cheaper local rates such as $3 per gb p/m. I have two international accounts, one 5GB and one 3GB. (Obviously they can be used for local browsing too).

What people here tend to do is get cheap local bandwidth + international bandwidth, 2 accounts, 1 line and 1 router. They use Route Sentry to use both accounts at the same time, 1 for local traffic and one for international. The problem is this app is only for Windows...And I was wondering if there is a way to do the same thing in Linux?

Route Sentry is specially designed for South Africans who want to make use of 2 ADSL accounts on the same PC at the same time, with the one account being used for local access only and the other for international. Most people are put off using such a setup due to the inconvenience of having to manually set up the IP routing tables after each new connection (due to ISP's allocating dynamic IP addresses). Route Sentry makes it easy.

It will monitor your 2 connections and automatically route South African traffic through the “local” account while directing all other traffic through the “international” account. It will automatically reconnect if either connection is dropped (which at the moment happens at least once every 24 hrs) and keep traffic flowing through the correct connections even if the IP addresses are changed after reconnecting.
