Chapter 1
Quick Checklist
In this chapter you can find a brief guide for a quick setup of Kerio WinRoute Firewall (referred
to as “WinRoute” within this document). 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 (e.g. Ethernet or WiFi network adapter), another must be connected to the Internet
(e.g. Ethernet or WiFi network adapter, USB ADSL modem, analog modem or an ISDN
adapter).
On Windows, 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 and in the wizard provide required basic parameters (for details,
see chapter 2.4 or 2.7 ).
3. Set interface groups and basic traffic rules using the Network Rules Wizard (see chap-
ter 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 DNS module settings. 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 Kerio Web Filter module (chapter 12.3 ). Set
HTTP cache and automatic configuration of browsers (chapter 8.5 ). Define FTP rules (chap-
ter 12.5 ).
