Specific settings and troubleshooting

This chapter provides description of advanced features and specific configurations of the fire-

wall. It also includes helpful guidelines for solving of issues which might occur when you use

WinRoute in your network.

25.1 Configuration Backup and Transfer

For cases when it is necessary to reinstall the firewall’s operating system (e.g. when new

hardware is deployed), it is possible to back-up WinRoute’s configuration including the major

part of status information and use the back-up for your new WinRoute installation. This may

save significant amount of your time as well as help you avoid solution of problems you have

already figured out.

Configuration files

All WinRoute configuration data is stored in the following files under the same directory where

WinRoute is installed

(the typical path is C:\Program Files\Kerio\WinRoute Firewall).

The following files are included:

winroute.cfg

Chief configuration file

UserDB.cfg

Information about groups and user accounts.

host.cfg

Preferences for backs-up of configuration, user accounts data, DHCP server database, etc.

logs.cfg

Log configurations

Note: The data in these files are saved in XML format so that it can be easily modified by an

advanced user or generated automatically using another application.

Files in the following directories are also considered as configuration data:

dbSSL

An automatically generated SSL certificate generated for traffic between the WinRoute

Firewall Engine and the Administration Console.
