access to a specific port (it can temporarily open the port demanded by the server). FTP
in the active mode, Real Audio or PPTP are just a few examples.
Network Configuration
WinRoute
has a built-in DHCP server, which sets TCP/IP parameters for each workstation
within your local network. Parameters for all workstations can be set centrally from a sin-
gle point. This reduces the amount of time needed to set up the network and minimizes
the risk of making a mistake during this process.
DNS forwarder
module enables easy DNS configuration and faster responses to DNS re-
quests. It is a simple type of caching nameserver that relays requests to another DNS
server. Responses are stored in its cache. This significantly speeds up responses to fre-
quent requests. Combined with the DHCP server and the system’s
hosts
file, the
DNS
forwarder
can be also used as a dynamic DNS server for the local domain.
Remote Administration
All settings are performed in the
Kerio Administration Console
, an independent adminis-
tration console used to manage all Kerio’s server products. It can be run either on the
workstation with
WinRoute
or on another host within the local network or the Internet.
Communication between
WinRoute
and the administration console is encrypted and thus
protected from being tapped or misused.
Various Operating Systems Within The Local Network
WinRoute
works with standard TCP/IP protocols. From the point of view of workstations
within the local network it acts as a standard router and no special client applications
are required. Therefore, any operating system with TCP/IP, such as
Windows
,
Unix/Linux
,
Mac OS
etc., can be run within the LAN.
Additional Features
HTTP and FTP filtering
WinRoute
can monitor all HTTP and FTP communication and block objects that do not
match given criteria. The settings can be global or defined specifically for each user.
Antivirus control
WinRoute
can perform antivirus check of transmitted files. For this purpose, either the
built-in
McAfee
antivirus or an external antivirus program (e.g.
NOD32
,
AVG
, etc.) are
available. Antivirus check can be applied to
HTTP
,
FTP
,
SMTP
and
POP3
protocols.
Transparent support for Active Directory
If
WinRoute
is employed in a network using the
Active Directory
domain, it is not nec-
essary to create local accounts or import users from the domain as
Active Directory
di-
rectory accounts can be used in
WinRoute
. This option simplifies administration of user
accounts, especially for greater number of users.
