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:
Kill connection
Use this option to finish selected connection immediately (in case of UDP connections 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.
