That command actually has different functions depending on what you trigger with it.

If used with instllr -disableoffload

The only thing it does is switch the card to App mode which could have been done by right clicking on the Killer Tray. Many VPN's will work in App mode, as mentioned in the users guide: http://www.bigfootnetworks.com/Suppo...temid=64&nav=0

The reverse instllr -enableoffload is same as right clicking Killer Tray and selecting Game Mode (for UDP offload).

Using the command line to switch Game/App mode like this is not likely to trigger a visible response on the Killer Tray, so you may appear to be in Game Mode at a casual glance. To see what mode your really in:
Code:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>instllr -v

  KillerNIC M1 LLR Mode is currently set to App Mode
---
Newer versions of Killer Config also support a version of that command. Done from the correct directory the -enable/disableoffload commands can be used to map or unmap the BfLLR around the winsock

The commands:
C:\Program Files\Bigfoot Networks\Killer Driver>killerconfig -disableoffload
C:\Program Files\Bigfoot Networks\Killer Driver>killerconfig -enableoffload

Example:
1. view the winsock with instllr -p
Code:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>instllr -p

4. use the reverse to restore the BfLLR
C:\Program Files\Bigfoot Networks\Killer Driver>killerconfig -enableoffload

---
There should be no need to use the instllr -disableoffload on systems with a functional Killer Tray, just use the Game/App mode switch. The same is true of most of the commands you will find listed by instllr -h; they are all linked to various GUI buttons.

The killerconfig -disableoffload/enabloffload exists primarily for the install/uninstall process and is normally run automatically only when needed. Which is why there is no visible buttons for it in the GUI. Note: if you really need to use this to unmap the BfLLR, you should also exit Killer Tray, and if you need it to remain off (for testing) you will also need to remove it from the startup folder (or it will remap the BfLLR automatically on the next reboot).

---
Note: you can also trigger both an instllr -v and an instllr -p reading plus a software version footnote by using the Diagnose button in Killer Config (on the about page)

Example Diagnose:

LLR-32 (Version=4.1.0.9) Configuration request This is the instllr software version #


KillerNIC M1 LLR Mode is currently set to GAME Mode Actual mode the card is running in regardless of tray display

KillerNIC Secondary IP Address=172.31.254.2 Mask=255.255.255.0
KillerNIC Tx Poll Timer Setting = 1000us

KillerNIC Firmware IP_TABLES is Loaded IP tables is required for Killer Firewall to function, this is disabled (and so is the firewall) in barebones mode
KillerNIC M1 FNA support= Enabled We no longer intentionally produce disabled cards (we used to sell disabled versions), if this is disabled we will upgrade the card for free, contact tech support

Killer Suite Version: 4.1.0.17 Suite version is the software version numbers for Killer Config, Killer Tray, and any other "Feature" level software (firewall, bandwidth control). By the time a driver reaches a functional state this is often what will change the most over the course of beta testing.

Default Re: OpenVPN client would be nice

It was the KillerConfig.exe -disableOffload that I was meaning.

I have noticed if I don't do this, even when in App Mode, Firepass and OpenVPN say they connect, and then time out and drop the connection.

Than they are creating virtual connections that cannot function with the killers bypass.

Running the card in that mode does not allow Game Mode or UDP offloading for improved game performance.
