routing all internet traffic through WinGate VPN

[russellm]

Problem I am trying to solve:

current problem:
my machine <=> internet router with bad packetlosss <=> World of Warcraft Server

What I want:
my machine <=> remote machine <=> inet router with no packetloss <=> World of Warcraft Server

I am in China and the route I am taking to the World of Warcraft server is going through a saturated router causing 1000ms pings and 20% packet loss.

I noticed if I tracert to a remote box I have in USA I do not go through this bad router. So I am trying to reroute my packets through this box by using your VPN product.

I just setup the trial version and it seems to be connecting but when I ping the WoW server it is still using it's old route.
Is there a way to get all my traffic to route over the Wingate VPN?
Is it just something I have setup wrong?

P.S. I have tried using the built in WinXP VPN server client but for some reason can't get it to work.

Thanks,
Russell

Try adding a route to the WOW server that goes to the internal ip of your remote machine.

[Update: That should have been external]

I am not sure how to do this...

there are a couple of things to consider:

- traceroute itself is not a good indication of the line quality - however, it's wortwhile trying what you plan

- Your US server should have NAT support running as well as having an ability to do OS routing

Now, back to the routing thing. Let say, the destination IP address (game server IP) is x.x.x.x. You add a route on the US server to this IP address:

route -p add x.x.x.x mask 255.255.255.255 y.y.y.y
where y.y.y.y is the IP address of the external interface of your US machine.
