Quota exceed action
Set actions which will be taken whenever a quota is exceeded:
• Block any further traffic — the user will be allowed to continue using the opened
connections, however, will not be allowed to establish new connections (i.e. to
connect to another server, download a file through FTP, etc.)
• Don’t block further traffic (Only limit bandwidth...) — Internet connection speed
(so called bandwidth) will be limited for the user. Traffic will not be blocked but
the user will notice that the Internet connection is slower than usual (this should
make such users to reduce their network activities). For detailed information,
see chapter
7.
Check the Notify user by email when quota is exceeded option to enable sending
of warning messages to the user in case that a quota is exceeded. A valid email
address must be specified for the user (see Step 1). SMTP Relay must be set in
WinRoute (see chapter 16.4).
If you wish that your WinRoute administrator is also notified when a quota is almost
exceeded, set the alert parameters in Configuration → Accounting. For details, refer
to chapter
17.3.
Notes:
1. If a quota is exceeded and the traffic is blocked in result, the restrictions will
continue being applied until the end of the quota period (day or month). To
cancel these restrictions before the end of a corresponding period, the follow-
ing actions can be taken:
• disable temporarily a corresponding limit, raise its value or switch to the
Don’t block further traffic mode
• reset statistics of a corresponding user (see chapter 18.2).
2. Actions for quota-exceeding are not applied if the user is authenticated at the
firewall. This would block all firewall traffic as well as all local users. However,
transferred data is included in the quota!
HINT: Data transfer quota and actions applied in response can also be set by a user
account template.
Step 5 — content rules
Within this step special content filter rules settings for individual users can be defined.
Global rules (defined in the Content Rules tab in the Configuration → Content Filtering
→ HTTP Policy section) are used as default (when a new user account is defined). For
details, see chapter 10.3.
Note: These settings can be customized at a corresponding page of the WinRoute’s Web
interface (see chapter 9.4). If the user can override content rules, any changes can be
