Heya Shayan.

Why dont you try ccproxy to regulate bandwith to users or maybe netlimiter to regulate bandwith to all the wingate connections.

That actually won't work. Most of the bandwidth shapers like bandwidthcontroller, ccproxy, net shaper, and netlimiter won't work with wingate, or rather i don't know how to get these to work with wingate without breaking net connection.

Likewise, any monitoring tools like bandwidth monitors don't seem to work with wingate.

I like some of the changes in this new version, but there isn't enough to keep me much longer. I might use clarkconnect or something.

Hi

The thing is that we were originally going to release this version as 5.2.4, then it got renamed internally here to 5.5 (because of some more changes), then it changed to 6.0 since we considered that the scope of changes deserved more than just a minor version number upgrade.

The developments that we had been working on which were going to be the "next major release" are still in a separate code tree, and in development. This means we now have plans to release another major version upgrade this year, which has these other developments in it. These were the things like flow-chart-based rules configuration, bandwidth control, etc.

So I guess this is one of the perception issues that arise when we decide to change version numbers like this.

However, having said all that, we have raised the priority of bandwidth control here, so I would expect to see this feature sooner rather than later, we are still deciding whether we can get it into the 6.0 full release or not (the driver actually currently supports it, just a GUI is needed to configure it, and we would need a bunch more testing on it).

Here's a vote for no "scope creep".

Get 6.0 "as is" through beta and released.

Then work on the goodies for the next version.
