Specific settings and troubleshooting
This chapter provides description of advanced features and specific configurations of the fire-
wall. It also includes helpful guidelines for solving of issues which might occur when you use
WinRoute in your network.
25.1 Configuration Backup and Transfer
For cases when it is necessary to reinstall the firewall’s operating system (e.g. when new
hardware is deployed), it is possible to back-up WinRoute’s configuration including the major
part of status information and use the back-up for your new WinRoute installation. This may
save significant amount of your time as well as help you avoid solution of problems you have
already figured out.
Configuration files
All WinRoute configuration data is stored in the following files under the same directory where
WinRoute is installed
(the typical path is C:\Program Files\Kerio\WinRoute Firewall).
The following files are included:
winroute.cfg
Chief configuration file
UserDB.cfg
Information about groups and user accounts.
host.cfg
Preferences for backs-up of configuration, user accounts data, DHCP server database, etc.
logs.cfg
Log configurations
Note: The data in these files are saved in XML format so that it can be easily modified by an
advanced user or generated automatically using another application.
Files in the following directories are also considered as configuration data:
dbSSL
An automatically generated SSL certificate generated for traffic between the WinRoute
Firewall Engine and the Administration Console.
