MTN BIS VPN Automation

Hello All,

Today I will share a little script I made to help all those who use MTN BIS on their PC's for their browsing pleasure. If your like me and do lots of downloading then im sure you often get fustrated when you set up some files to download and then head to bed or work expecting to come home and find lots of downloaded goodies. Yet when you return you notice that the mtn connection was disconnected 5 minutes after you left. Well here is a method I created to solve this problem.

Things you will need:

1. Premium VPN software - I use Tweakware VPN but im sure you can use others such a GatewayVPN

2. Active BIS Subscription - BBCDAY BBCWEEK or BBC to 21600

3. Advanced Task Scheduler Professional (ATS Pro) - torrent available  click here

4. AutoHotKey - http://www.autohotkey.com/

5. My Script - Auto Connect Script

Step 1 - Install AutoHotKey and ATS Pro

Step 2 - Configure ATS Pro as Follows

Click on add new task then select the short-cut tab. 

Next Click on Insert Command

From the Shortcut Drop down menu select Launch Application and then browse to the location you saved the script to and select the script. 

Press OK and then select the Schedule Tap
For the Schedule Type select RAS (connection) 
Go to connection name and select the MTN BIS connection that you created

Create a schedule for both connection and disconnection  as seen in the picture above.


Step 3 - Configure Reconnection  

Click on network connections in the tray and click properties on the mtn bis connection

Go to the options tab and configure the settings as seen in the above image

Step 4 - Connection Time 

Now that everything is configured correctly it time to connect and stay connected. 

DO NOT USE THE MTN FASTLINK SOFTWARE TO CONNECT

Instead open available networks from the right hand corner of the tray and select the mtn bis connection and click on connect. 

When it connects you should see that Tweakware vpn connects automatically. And when it disconnects tweakware will also disconnect automatically. But since you have configured the modem to redial connection if dropped it will redial up to 20 times and reattempt connection. the problem before was that once the modem was disconnected even if tweakware was still active when the modem is reconnected it would not work unless tweakware is disconnected and reconnected. The script automates the disconnection and reconnection each time MTN BIS is connected or reconnected. 

I use Tweakware and so the script only works with tweakware at the moment. Yet if you can understand simple code to a look at the script and edit it to press the connection button on your favourite VPN software. 

If you need any help please comment below and lets get all of us to not only be connected but to stay connected. 

UPDATE:

Here is the script for those of you using Gateway VPN - GatewayVPN Script

If you use some other VPN software and need help getting it configured just comment and I can work on putting the script together for you. 

Thanks,
