22.5 Connection Log

The Connection log gathers information about traffic matching traffic rules with the Log match-

ing connections enabled (see chapter

7

) or meeting certain conditions (e.g. log of UPnP traffic

— see chapter

18.2

).

How to read the Connection Log?

[18/Apr/2008 10:22:47] [ID] 613181 [Rule] NAT

[Service] HTTP [User] james

[Connection] TCP 192.168.1.140:1193 -> hit.google.com:80

[Duration] 121 sec [Bytes] 1575/1290/2865 [Packets] 5/9/14

[18/Apr/2008 10:22:47]

— date and time when the event was logged (note: Con-

nection logs are saved immediately after a disconnection).

[ID] 613181

WinRoute connection identification number

[Rule] NAT

— name of the traffic rule which has been used (a rule by which the traffic

was allowed or denied).

[Service] HTTP

— name of a corresponding application layer service (recognized by

destination port).

If the corresponding service is not defined in WinRoute (refer to chapter

14.3

), the

[Service]

item is missing in the log.

[User] james

name of the user connected to the firewall from a host which partici-

pates in the traffic.

If no user is currently connected from the corresponding host, the [User] item is

missing in the log.

[Connection] TCP 192.168.1.140:1193 -> hit.top.com:80

— protocol, source

IP address and port, destination IP address and port. If an appropriate log is found in

the DNS Forwarder cache (see chapter

8.1

), the host’s DNS name is displayed instead

of its IP address. If the log is not found in the cache, the name is not detected (such

DNS requests would slow WinRoute down).

[Duration] 121 sec

— duration of the connection (in seconds)

[Bytes] 1575/1290/2865

— number of bytes transferred during this connection

(transmitted /accepted /total).

[Packets] 5/9/14

— number of packets transferred through this connection

(transmitted/accepted/total).
