RusRoute

RusRoute is a network traffic management app for Windows which allows you to control the flow of data in and out of your computer. Unlike other conventional firewalls, this app not only filters connections, but also allows you to configure specific rules, prioritize traffic, and monitor every packet that moves through your network.

Create detailed rules for each connection

With RusRoute you can set exactly which apps can access the Internet, through which ports, protocols, and even at what times of the day. For example, you can restrict your browser to connect only to certain domains or prevent certain programs from consuming bandwidth while you play or work. You can also set conditions based on the source or destination IP address, the country, the amount of data transferred and a number of other technical parameters.

Firewall with deep packet inspection

RusRoute replaces the Windows firewall and adds deep packet inspection (DPI) capabilities in order to work, which means it can analyze the content of communications beyond basic headers. This allows you to block hidden threats like Trojans and spyware that camouflage themselves in legitimate traffic or unauthorized connections that use standard protocols to go unnoticed.

Transparent proxy with caching and compression

Another of RusRoute's highlights is its ability to function as a transparent proxy, which means that it can intercept and manage traffic without the need for additional configuration on connected devices. This feature allows you to cache the most requested data, reducing bandwidth usage and improving load times as a result. It also enables automatic compression of HTTP traffic to save even more resources.

Real-time monitoring and detailed stats

RusRoute includes real-time monitoring tools that allow you to see which apps are using the network, how much data they are transferring and which servers they are communicating with. Each connection is displayed with additional details like protocol, port, source and destination IP, and even the country of origin. You can also access daily, weekly and monthly historical statistics, making it easy to identify usage spikes or any suspicious activity on your network.

VPN tunneling and load balancing support

As well as its security and filtering features, RusRoute supports custom VPN tunnels, allowing you to create secure connections between remote networks or access certain services with an additional layer of privacy. You can also set up multiple Internet connections and apply load balancing to distribute traffic, ensuring smoother and uninterrupted browsing, even if one of the lines fails.

Download RusRoute if you are looking for a complete network solution that allows you to control your traffic beyond what a simple firewall offers. Bear in mind that, to use RusRoute, you will have to install some additional tools like drivers, as well as enable Windows Test Mode.
