All Kerio products including WinRoute are administered through the Kerio Administration Console application (an application used for administration of all Kerio Technologies' server products; thereinafter Administration Console). Using this program you can access WinRoute Firewall Engine either locally (from the WinRoute host) or remotely (from another host). Traffic between Administration Console and WinRoute Firewall Engine is encrypted. This protects you from tapping and misuse.

The Administration Console is installed along with WinRoute (see chapters 2.3  Installation and 2.4  WinRoute Components). The separate installation package Administration Console for WinRoute is available for remote administration from another host.

Detailed guidelines for the Administration Console are provided under Kerio Administration Console — Help (to view these guidelines, use option Help → Contents in the main Administration Console window, or you can download it from http://www.kerio.com/kwf-manual).

The following chapters of this guide provide descriptions on individual sections of the WinRoute administration dialog window which is opened upon a successful login to the WinRoute Firewall Engine.

Note:

  1. Administration Console for WinRoute is available in English, Spanish, Czech, Slovak and Russian.

  2. Upon the first login to WinRoute after a successful installation, the traffic rules wizard is run so that the initial WinRoute configuration can be performed. For a detailed description on this wizard, please refer to chapter 7.1  Network Rules Wizard7.1  Network Rules Wizard.
