2.14 Secured access of remote clients to LAN

Enable the VPN server for secured access of remote clients (“VPN clients”) to LAN under Con-

ﬁguration → Interfaces (for details, see chapter 4.1). No additional settings are required. Com-

munication of VPN clients is already allowed by the traﬃc policy created by the wizard — refer

to chapter 2.4.

Note: VPN clients will connect only to the headquarters server. No settings for VPN clients are

required at the branch oﬃce server(s).

Kerio VPN Client

Kerio VPN Client must be installed at each remote host to enable their connection to the VPN

server in WinRoute. This application is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Installation

ﬁles can be downloaded from http://www.kerio.com/firewall/download.

Clients will connect to the server at the headquarters (i.e. to 63.55.21.12) and they will be

authenticated through their domain usernames and passwords (see chapter 2.8).

For help details, see Kerio VPN Client — User’s Guide

(http://www.kerio.com/firewall/manual).

2.15 LAN Hosts Conﬁguration

TCP/IP parameters for the hosts that are used as the domain server and as the FTP server

must be conﬁgured manually (its IP address must not be changed):

• IP address — we will use the 192.168.1.2 address (refer to chapter 2.5),

• Default gateway — use IP address of the appropriate ﬁrewall interface (192.168.1.1),

• DNS server — since Microsoft DNS is running on the host, the system sets the local

loopback address (loopback — 127.0.0.1) as the primary DNS server.

Set automatic conﬁguration of both IP address and DNS server (using DHCP) at all workstations

(it is set by default under most operating systems).

2.16 Viewing statistics of Internet usage and user browsing behavior

WinRoute also includes a web interface called Kerio StaR (statistics and reporting) which allows

to view user browsing behavior as well as statistics in tables and charts.

The monitored activity items include:

• visited websites,

• email messages and instant messaging,

• large ﬁle transfers,

• multimedia (online audio and video streaming),

• remote access (terminal access and VPN connection).

Tables and charts are available for the following statistical issues:
