Introduction
2.1 Kerio WinRoute Firewall
Kerio WinRoute Firewall 6.0 is a complex tool for connection of the local network to the
Internet and protection of this network from intrusions. It is developed for OS Windows
2000, XP and 2003.
Basic Features
Transparent Internet Access
With Network Address Translation (NAT) technology, the local private network can
be connected to the Internet through a single public IP address (static or dynamic).
Unlike proxy servers, with NAT technology all Internet services will be accessible
from any workstation and it will be possible to run most standard network applica-
tions, as if all computers within the LAN had their own connection to the Internet.
Security
The integrated firewall protects all the local network including the workstation it
is installed on, regardless of whether the NAT function (IP translation) is used or
WinRoute is used as a neutral router between two networks. Kerio WinRoute Fire-
wall offers the same standard of protection found in much more costly hardware
solutions.
Relay Control tab
All the security settings within WinRoute are managed through so-called traffic pol-
icy rules. These provide effective network protection from external attacks as well
as easy access to all the services running on servers within the protected local net-
work (e.g. Web Server, Mail server, FTP Server, etc.). Communication rules in the
traffic policy can also restrict local users in accessing certain services on the Inter-
net.
Bandwidth Limiter
Typically, problems with Internet connection arise when a user attempts to down-
load big volume of data (installation archive, disk image, audio/video file, etc.) and
thus the connection to the Internet and to other server services is slowed down for
other users. The WinRoute’s built-in Bandwidth Limiter module enables to reserve
bandwidth for transfer of big size data. The rest of the bandwidth will be constantly
available for other services.
