Hey guys.

I've gotten my OpenRouter to work with FireFox and all, and it works nicely (at 2 - 6k, but beggers can’t be choosers)

I'm having some problems with MSN though. I've set MSN up to use the OpenRouter software and when I try login to MSN it picks up various connections coming from MSN but I can't actually connect and when I do, its for 30 seconds at top. Is their any way to use MSN with OpenRouter effectively OR is there a local alternative to MSN (I remember Jabberafrica, but it shut down a few months ago)

ALSO,
Is there a way to use the "Tunnel" option to simply open Steam, all I need to do is open it but with a capped Openweb account its impossible.

Thanks in advance,
XperiAnce
 
I closed OpenRouter on my Brothers machine and MSN appears to work now.

MrBEEP, is their ANY way that OpenRouter can allow MSN to be run on two machines.

My brother and I both run OpenRouter on our seperate machines, and MSN only seems to work as long as only one of our OpenRouters are open. Is their any way you can optimize OpenRouter so that it allows for more (2) people to run it on the same connection, connected to the same OpenRouter account.
 
Thanks man. Like I said, the main gripe for most users is MSN. Can anything be done to allow MSN more "Leaway" of sorts when it comes to the proxy, like up its priority a lot more. Also, like I said, to allow two people on the same connection to connect to MSN via the proxy (this is by far our biggest problem, as we both use MSN a LOT. Please please PLEASE can something be done to aid us, MSN is like our gateway to the world. I would REALLY appreciate ANY help on this)
 
try run openbrowse on pc1 and check that pc2's ip is in the "Proxy Client Connections" window. Now make pc2 use pc1 as a proxy. Works for browsing, hope it helps for msn

try changing your MSN proxy type to 'socks4' when connecting through OpenRouter. MSN will ignore non socks type proxy settings if it can establish a direct connection, which it sometimes can even when you're capped internationally on IS. Setting the proxy type to 'socks4' will force MSN to use the proxy.

BTW Steam won't work with OpenRouter as it makes use of UDP packets which wont work through the proxy.

I'd like to do this as well. I'm currently using route sentry on my windows box to do just that, but I have multiple computers on my home network, and it's a pain to manage.
However, I'm not exactly a linux expert... Could someone give me some pointers on how to go about doing it? I currently have a machine to do it on, but I haven't even installed linux on it yet, so any pointers would really be appreciated...
