Figure 2.7 Initial configuration — Setting of administration username and password
Remote Access
Immediately after the first WinRoute Firewall Engine startup all network traffic will be
blocked (desirable traffic must be permitted by traffic rules — see chapter 6). If WinRoute
is installed remotely (i.e. using terminal access), communication with the remote client
will be also interrupted immediately (WinRoute must be configured locally).
Within Step 2 of the configuration wizard specify the IP address of the host from which
the firewall will be controlled remotely (i.e. using terminal services) to enable remote
installation and administration. Thus WinRoute will enable all traffic between the firewall
and the remote host.
Note: Skip this step if you install WinRoute locally. Allowing full access from a point
might endanger security.

Remote IP address
IP address of the computer from where you will be connecting (e.g. terminal ser-
vices client). This field must contain an IP address. A domain name is not allowed.
