What are the different ways I can use this program?

  1. It can be used in conjunction with a web page that grabs or displays your IP address, or even automatically redirects your viewers to your home server. This can be useful if you have a dynamic IP address. Take a look at the programming page.
  2. To see a flow chart showing how I use it to display my dynamic IP address,click here.
  3. You can set the URL to your web page that has a counter to fake traffic to your site. For example, run 10 instances of this program set to access your site every minute. This will produce 600 hits per hour.
  4. It can be used to keep your internet connection alive by accessing a web page every few minutes.
  5. By setting "Show Alert=true" in the configuration ".ini" file, it can alert you when your website is down.
