2.4  WinRoute Components

Kerio WinRoute consists of the three following components:

WinRoute Firewall Engine

WinRoute Firewall Engine is the core of the program that provides all services and functions. It is running as a service in the operating system (the service is called Kerio WinRoute Firewall and it is run automatically within the system account by default).

WinRoute Engine Monitor

Allows viewing and modification of the Engine's status (stopped / running) and setting of start-up preferences (i.e. whether Engine and Monitor should be run automatically at system start-up). It also provides easy access to the Administration Console. For details, refer to chapter 2.5  WinRoute Engine Monitor.

Note: WinRoute Firewall Engine is independent on the WinRoute Engine Monitor. The Engine can be running even if there is no icon in the system tray.

Kerio Administration Console

It is a versatile console for full local or remote administration of Kerio Technologies server products. For successful connection to an application you need a plug-in with an appropriate interface. Kerio Administration Console is installed hand-in-hand with the appropriate module during the installation of Kerio WinRoute. Detailed guidance for Kerio Administration Console is provided in Kerio Administration Console — Help (http://www.kerio.com/firewall/manual).
