Web Interface
WinRoute includes a special web server which provides an interface where statistics can be
viewed ( Kerio StaR ), as well as for setting of some user account parameters and for firewall
administration via web browser ( Web Administration ). This Web server is available over SSL or
using standard HTTP with no encryption (both versions include identical pages).
Use the following URL ( ’server’ refers to the name or IP of the WinRoute host, 4080 repre-
sents a standard HTTP interface port) to open the unsecured version of the web interface.
https://server:4080/
To use the encrypted version specify the HTTPS protocol and number of the port of the en-
crypted Web interface (default is
4081
):
https://server:4081/
This chapter addresses setting of parameters for the web interface in the WinRoute’s admin-
istration program. Kerio StaR and user web interface are addressed in detail in the Kerio
WinRoute Firewall — User’s Guide .

ration

Enable Web Interface (HTTP)
Use this option to open the unsecured version (HTTP) of the Web interface The default
port for this unsecured interface is
4080
.
Note: The main disadvantage of usage of the unsecured web interface is that the network
traffic may be tapped and user login data might be misused. Therefore, the secured web
interface should be preferred.
Enable secured Web Interface (HTTPS)
Use this option to open the secured version (HTTPS) of the Web interface The default port
for this interface is 4081 .
Name of the server on which WinRoute is running
Server DNS name that will be used for purposes of the Web interface (e.g.
