Here's a script to simplify alternate "default" network routing Yes, this is pretty techie stuff, but it's so handy that I wanted to mention it here. Sometimes you need to route the network traffic of *specific programs* differently than the default route of the system on which they run. This isn't a real problem if that program is only communicating with a fixed ip address or limited set of known network ip addresses. But what if the program really needs its own "default" route that is different than the system default route? There are various ways to attack this problem, using various tools, but it can get quite complicated. I recently found this script that simplifies the entire process -- it's good work, and it functions as advertised. I thought it might be useful to some of you someday. It depends on relatively recent Linux tools to function, and performs like a champ under Ubuntu 16.04.
