Quick Checklist
In this chapter you can find a brief guide for a quick setup of “Kerio WinRoute Firewall” (called
briefly “WinRoute” in further text). After this setup the firewall should be immediately available
and able to share your Internet connection and protect your local network. For a detailed guide
refer to the separate WinRoute — Step-by-Step Configuration guide.
If you are not sure how to set any of the Kerio WinRoute Firewall functions or features, look up
the appropriate chapter in this manual. For information about your Internet connection (such
as your IP address, default gateway, DNS server, etc.) contact your ISP.
Note: In this guide, the expression firewall represents the host where WinRoute is (or will be)
installed.
1.
The firewall must include at least two interfaces — one must be connected to the local
network (i.e. the Ethernet or Token Ring network adapters), another must be connected
to the Internet (i.e. USB ADSL modem, analog modem, ISDN adapter or network adapter).
parameters must be set properly at both/all interfaces.
Test functionality of the Internet connection and of traffic among hosts within the local
network before you run the WinRoute installation. This test will reduce possible problems
with debugging and error detections.
2.
Run WinRoute installation. Specify a username and password for access to the adminis-
tration from the configuration wizard (for details refer to chapters
and
).
