Let's say I have two wireless networks I can connect to, alpha
and beta
.
In this scenario the alpha
wifi gives me access to a specific intranet and specific sites I need to access, and blocks specific sites. For example http://someblockedsite.com
.
The beta
connection however does not have access to the intranet but does allow access to the blocked sites.
The case now is that I'm switching back and forth between the two connections, and it's really a pain point, it's slow and confusing.
I'm on a Macbook Pro, and I've been thinking about purchasing an external WiFi dongle with which I would be able to connect to one network with my Macbook WiFi card and the other with the external dongle. Ideally I would be able to use something like the hosts
file to modify the outgoing traffic on my machine so that when I access one domain http://onlyalpha.com
it will use the alpha
connection and when I access the http://onlybeta.com
site it will use the beta
connection.
Is something like this possible?
