WYESOFT ACTIVE CONNECTIONS

WyeSoft Active Connections is a utility that displays information on all connections between your computer and others on your network or the internet, including filenames and paths of the programs/processes that initiated the connections where applicable. You are given the option to block hostnames (by setting them to loopback to your own computer) so that connections to these remote hosts are not possible in future. This is useful for preventing spyware from functioning and for blocking advertisements by certain programs.

Introduction ------------ WyeSoft Active Connections is a utility that displays information on all connections between your computer and others on your network or the internet, including filenames and paths of the programs/processes that initiated the connections where applicable. You are given the option to block hostnames (by setting them to loopback to your own computer) so that connections to these remote hosts are not possible in future. This is useful for preventing spyware from functioning and for blocking advertisements by certain programs. Host Mappings ------------- Clicking the Host Mappings button will open up your Hosts file in Notepad. This file contains any hostnames that have been mapped to specific IP addresses. Any hostnames that you've blocked with Active Connections will appear in this list, mapped to the IP, 127.0.0.1, which always points to your own computer. To remove a mapping, simply delete the line from the Hosts file and then save it. You can also add your own custom mappings to the Hosts file, but you should not do this unless you have a specific reason to. To map a host, add a line with the following format: <IP address> <hostname> For example to map the hostname example.com to the LAN address 192.168.1.2, add the following line: 192.168.1.2 example.com
