Probably WMI would be the best "programmatic" solution to this.

But then I'm descending into text processing hell trying to extract the existing data. If there's an API for it'd the process would be a lot smoother. Part of the reason for this is some traffic is "better off" going through a VPN route while others are not. Being able to discover what routes are present and what metrics are being used is important for discovering what routes should or shouldn't be used. As in, don't connect over the locally available WiFi link because it's unencryped and thus not secure; use the encrypted VPN tunnel instead. For example, don't connect to my POP3 mailbox that uses plain text authentication from the starbucks; dial the VPN first and use that instead. But allow any other insecure traffic to use the faster local route. Granted, this sort of application layer routing isn't something most existing tools have the ability to do out of the box.
