The usual way to add persistent static routes would be to modify the /etc/network/interfaces file, however CensorNets' setup program can and will modify this file and may overwrite changes made to it.

Therefore we need to make a new init script, add the rules to it and then tell the system to run it at boot time.

1. Login as root to the system console.

2. Using a text editor (nano, vi, emacs etc...) create a file:

/etc/init.d/routing

In this file add the following two lines:

#!/bin/sh
/sbin/route add –net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 gw 10.0.1.1 metric 1 dev br0

(replace network, subnet and gateway addresses with your own route information)

3. Save the file, exit the editor, then at the command prompt execute the following two commands:

chmod +x /etc/init.d/routing
update-rc.d routing defaults 99

That should make the script you created run at boot time.
