HINT: The same method can be used to enable or disable remote administration of Kerio
MailServer through WinRoute (the KMS Admin service can be used for this purpose).
Note: Be very careful while defining traffic rules, otherwise you could block remote ad-
ministration from the host you are currently working on. If this happens, the connection
between Administration Console and WinRoute Firewall Engine is interrupted (upon click-
ing on the Apply button in Configuration → Traffic Policy). Local connections (from the
WinRoute Firewall Engine’s host) works anyway. Such a traffic cannot be blocked by any
rule.
14.2 Update Checking
WinRoute enables automatic check for new versions at the Kerio Technologies website.
Whenever a new version is detected, is download and installation is offered.
Open the Update Checker tab in the Configuration → Advanced Options section to view
information on a new version and to set parameters for automatic checks for new ver-
sions.
Figure 14.2 Check for new WinRoute versions
Last update check performed ... ago
Information on how much time ago the last update check was performed.
If the time is too long (several days) this may indicate that the automatic update
checks fail for some reason (i.e. access to the update server is blocked by a traffic
rule). In such cases we recommend you to perform a check by hand (by clicking on
the Check now button), view results in the Debug log (see chapter 20.6) and take
appropriate actions.
