6.1 Network Rules Wizard
95
This implies that, by default, the rule allows traffic between the local network (fire-
wall), remote networks connected via VPN tunnels and VPN clients connecting to
the WinRoute’s VPN server.
Note: Access to the WinRoute host is not limited as the Wizard supposes that this
host belongs to the local network. Limitations can be done by modification of an
appropriate rule or by creating a new one. An inconvenient rule limiting access
to the WinRoute host might block remote administration or it might cause some
Internet services to be unavailable (all traffic directed to the Internet passes through
this host).
Firewall Traffic
This rule enables access to certain services from the WinRoute host. It is similar
to the NAT rule except from the fact that this rule does not perform IP translation
(this host connects to the Internet directly).
FTP Service and HTTP Service
These rules map all HTTP and HTTPS services running at the host with the
192.168.1.10 IP address (step 6). These services will be available on IP addresses
of the external interface (step 3).
Kerio VPN Service and HTTPS Service
The Kerio VPN service rule enables connection to the WinRoute’s VPN server from
the Internet (establishment of control connection between a VPN client and the
server or creation of a VPN tunnel — for details, see chapter 21).
The HTTPS Service rule allows connection from the Internet via the Clientless SSL-
VPN interface (access to shared network items via a web browser — for details, see
chapter 22).
These rules are not created unless the option allowing access to a particular service
is enabled in step 5.
Default rule
This rule denies all communication that is not allowed by other rules. The default
rule is always listed at the end of the rule list and it cannot be removed.
The default rule allows the administrator to select what action will be taken with
undesirable traffic attempts (Deny or Drop) and to decide whether packets or/and
connections will be logged.
Note: To see detailed descriptions of traffic rules refer to chapter
6.3..
