Options of the Connections Dialog
The following options are available below the list of connections:
• Hide local connections — connections from or/and to the WinRoute host will not be
displayed in the Connections window.
This option only makes the list better-arranged and distinguishes connections of
other hosts in the local network from the WinRoute host’s connections.
• Show DNS names — this option displays DNS names instead of IP addresses. If a DNS
name is not resolved for a certain connection, the IP address will be displayed.
Right-click on the Connections window (on the connection selected) to view a context
menu including the following options:
Figure 17.8 Context menu for Connections
Kill connection
Use this option to finish selected connection immediately (in case of UDP connec-
tions all following datagrams will be dropped).
Note: This option is active only if the context menu has been called by right-clicking
on a particular connection. If called up by right-clicking in the Connections window
(with no connection selected), the option is inactive.
Refresh
This option will refresh the information in the Connections window immediately.
This function is equal to the function of the Refresh button at the bottom of the
window.
Auto refresh
Settings for automatic refreshing of the information in the Connections window.
Information can be refreshed in the interval from 5 seconds up to 1 minute or the
auto refresh function can be switched off (No refresh).
