Explanation This implementation might be used in remote locations where a 3G/4G cellular or satellite Internet connection is the only option. Using the suggested blocked site with DNS Redirector will significantly improve performance of casual web surfing over high-latency and bandwidth-constricted Internet connections since the request for blocked content will be served locally rather than over the cellular connection. If the ISP connection can be established with an Ethernet handoff, then the need for the second Windows computer running ICS can be eliminated. Any Ethernet-based WAN connection could be plugged directly into the WAN port of the Firewall/Router for the Guest LAN. The Windows server runs DNS Redirector and three sites in IIS, each bound to a unique IP address. When/if the Internet connection becomes unavailable, operation can automatically be switched to display the unavailable page (SimpleDNS= setting with an asterisk record) until service resumes. See FAQ 67. |
