How to use two network cards, depending on website

I have a Windows 7 computer with 2 network cards. I live in China. I would like to use both of them, one being connected to internet through a VPN (located in the US) #1, the other one directly to internet #2.

What I want to achieve :

  • When I connect to the url www.bing.com, I want to access it through network card #2
  • But when I connect to the url www.Netflix.com, I want to use the #1 (the one using the VPN)

Is there any way to do this ?

Here is my verdict: Create a batch file/Visual Basic script to change the network card priority; You would then need to create a listener for network connections and checks the outgoing domain name (it then runs the script to change the network card).

But I want to be able to use Netflix through the VPN, and at the same time using www.youku.com (the chinese youtube) through normal internet. Would that be possible with your solution ? – guigui42 – 2013-04-14T09:26:07.567

I'm off to do research so I actually have a solution... – None – 2013-04-14T09:44:01.723

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pseries/v5r3/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.cmds/doc/aixcmds4/route.htm you might be able to put in a custom route for specific sites, till it's all figured out. if you fiddle the route table for netflix, all the other sites would use card#2, good luck figuring it out, but, it looks like it'd do the job.

Check out the 'route' command in Windows... route /? will give you subcommands. – cpt_fink – 2013-04-14T22:46:50.140

yes, most of the tools that exist on multiple os's, they use the same commands. network stuff is multiplatorm, like route, bind, ping, HOSTS, usually the same commands and file formats. – jamesskaar – 2013-04-14T23:13:31.053
