For each item either a color or the Default option can be chosen. Default colors are set in the
operating system (the common setting for default colors is black font and white background).
Font Color
•
Active connections — connections with currently active data traffic
•
Inactive connections — TCP connections which have been closed but 2 minutes
after they were killed they are still kept active — to avoid repeated packet mis-
handling)
Background Color
•
Local connections — connections where an IP address of the host with WinRoute
is either source or destination
•
Inbound connections — connections from the Internet to the local network (al-
lowed by firewall)
•
Outbound connections — connections from the local network to the Internet
Note: Incoming and outgoing connections are distinguished by detection of direction of
IP addresses — “out” (SNAT) or “in” (DNAT). For details, refer to chapter
19.3 Alerts
WinRoute enables automatic sending of messages informing the administrator about impor-
tant events. This makes WinRoute administration more comfortable, since it is not necessary
to connect to the firewall via the Administration Console too frequently to view all status in-
formation and logs (however, this does not mean that it is not worthy to do this occasionally).
WinRoute generates alert messages upon detection of any specific event for which alerts are
preset. All alert messages are recorded into the Alert log (see chapter
). The WinRoute
administrator can specify which alerts will be sent to whom, as well as a format of the alerts.
Sent alerts can be viewed in Status → Alerts.
Note: SMTP relay must be set in WinRoute (see chapter
), otherwise alerting will not work.
Alerts Settings
Alerts settings can be configured in the Alerts settings tab under Configuration → Accounting.
