Email alerts
WinRoute can send email alerts informing users about various events. This function
makes firewall administration easier for the administrators since they need not connect
to WinRoute frequently to check it through. All sent alerts are saved in a special log file.
User quotas
A limit can be set for transmitted data per each user. This limit can be set for the amount
of downloaded or/and uploaded data per day/month. These limits are called quotas. If
any quota is exceeded, the connection to the Internet will be blocked for a corresponding
user. Email alert can be optionally sent to the user.
Blocking of P2P networks
WinRoute can detect and block so called Peer-to-Peer networks (networks used for sharing
of files, such as Kazaa, DirectConnect etc.).
Kerio StaR — statistics and reporting
Detailed statistics of the firewall interface (current speed of transmitted data, amount
of data transmitted in certain time periods) as well as of individual users (amount of
transmitted data, used services, visited websites and their categories, etc.) can be viewed
in WinRoute.
Basic statistics are available in the administration program while detailed statistics can
be found in the firewall’s web interface.
Kerio VPN — proprietary VPN server and client
WinRoute also provides a proprietary VPN solution which can be applied to the server-
to-server and client-to-server modes. This VPN solution can perform NAT (even multiple)
at both ends. The Kerio VPN Client client software is included in the WinRoute package
that can be used for creation of client-to-server VPN types (connection of remote clients
to local networks).
Clientless SSL-VPN
The role of the VPN solution which requires a special application at the client side can be
supplied by remote access to a private network using a web browser. Clientless SSL-VPN
enables browsing through hosts and shared items in remote networks as well as files
downloads and saving. The traffic is secured by SSL (HTTPS).
2.2 Conflicting software
The WinRoute host can be used as a workstation, however it is not recommended as user
activity can affect the functionality of the operating system and WinRoute in a negative way.
WinRoute can be run with most of common applications. However, there are certain applica-
tions that should not be run at the same host as WinRoute for this could result in collisions.
Collision of low-level drivers
WinRoute Firewall may collide with applications that use low-level drivers with either
identical or similar technology.
