Chapter 1

Quick Checklist

In this chapter you can find a brief guide for a quick setup of “Kerio WinRoute Firewall” (called

briefly “WinRoute” in further text). After this setup the firewall should be immediately available

and able to share your Internet connection and protect your local network. For a detailed guide

refer to the separate WinRoute — Step-by-Step Configuration guide.

If you are not sure how to set any of the Kerio WinRoute Firewall functions or features, look up

the appropriate chapter in this manual. For information about your Internet connection (such

as your IP address, default gateway, DNS server, etc.) contact your ISP.

Note: In this guide, the expression firewall represents the host where WinRoute is (or will be)

installed.

1.

The firewall must include at least two interfaces — one must be connected to the local

network (i.e. the Ethernet or Token Ring network adapters), another must be connected

to the Internet (i.e. USB ADSL modem, analog modem, ISDN adapter or network adapter).

TCP/IP

parameters must be set properly at both/all interfaces.

Test functionality of the Internet connection and of traffic among hosts within the local

network before you run the WinRoute installation. This test will reduce possible problems

with debugging and error detections.

2.

Run WinRoute installation. Specify a username and password for access to the adminis-

tration from the configuration wizard (for details refer to chapters

2.3

and

2.7

).

3.

Set basic traffic rules using the Network Rules Wizard (see chapter

7.1

).

4.

Run the DHCP server and set required IP ranges including their parameters (subnet mask,

default gateway, DNS server address/domain name). For details, see chapter

8.2

.

5.

Check the DNS Forwarder’s configuration. Define the local DNS domain if you intend to

scan the hosts file and/or the DHCP server table. For details, see chapter

8.1

.

6.

Set user mapping from the Active Directory domain or create/import local user accounts

and groups. Set user access rights. For details see chapter

15

.

7.

Define IP groups (chapter

14.1

), time ranges (chapter

14.2

) and URL groups (chapter

14.4

),

that will be used during rules definition (refer to chapter

14.2

).

8.

Create URL rules (chapter

12.2

) and set the ISS OrangeWeb Filter module (chapter

12.4

).

Set HTTP cache and automatic configuration of browsers (chapter

8.5

). Define FTP rules

(chapter

12.6

).
