16.2 Update Checking

225

Check for new versions

Use this option to enable/disable automatic checks for new versions. Checks are per-

formed:

2 minutes after each startup of the WinRoute Firewall Engine,

and then every 24 hours.

Results of each attempted update check (successful or not) is logged into the Debug log

(see chapter

22.6

).

Check also for beta versions

Enable this option if you want WinRoute to perform also update checks for beta versions.

If you wish to participate in testing of WinRoute beta versions, enable this option. In case

that you use WinRoute in operations in your company (i.e. at the Internet gateway of your

company), we recommend you not to use this option (beta versions are not tested yet and

they could endanger functionality of your networks, etc.).
