Unhappy Wrong Local IP!

Hi...

When where are more than one Interfaces on the System where Xolox runs it does not pick (and transmitt!) the Local IP of the Interface which is used by the default gateway.

1. This exposes IP's which are internal and (often) not routable
2. This limits the usabillity.. because you never get your data in this case

My Setup:

Interfaces:

1 Ether (No TCP/IP just PPPOE)
2 DSL (using PPPOE over 1, Default Gateway)
3 VPN (using PPTP over 2 into another Network wich is NOT routable)

Xolox pickes the Local IP of the VPN Connection!!

Needed: Xolox to FIND the Local-IP of the Connection which belongs to the Standard Gateway.

Sincerely,
Hans R.
