Hello, I have 2 internet connections... I have two LAN network cards in pc connected each to different internet provider. I have configured Metrics, but I am now stucked on, how to force, lets say google chrome, to use Network card #2 instead of using my default network card #1.

Sorry for my bad english, and thanks for replies.

 

PS: I tried forcebind but it doesnt work anymore.

Thats balancing internet lines. The easiest way to do that is not on your computer but in a Router tan can handle firewall and mangle rules to mark packages and connections, and with that logic you can specify certain connections to domain do it through this provider. But you need to know medium-advanced linux, networking and routing.


Thats the way I know how to do this, idk if there's a program to do this.

You can't specify default GW (gateway) on a per-application basis. You can only do that in the OS. At least in Windows, you can only have one GW defined (route of last resort).

 

What you want is a router that will either do fail-over or load-balance with two WAN connections.

 

An EdgeRouter Lite should suffice.

Ok, thanks for your reply... Is somewhere a tutorial how to do that? I am not an expert :/
