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

2.17 Viewing statistics of Internet usage and user browsing behavior

Kerio Control 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:

• volume of transferred data,

• used protocols (services),

• top visited web domains,

• top requested web categories.

Statistics can be either showed for the overall traﬃc or for individual users.

Access and authentication to the statistics

Internet usage statistics may include fragile information. For this reason, a special right is

used for access to this information, assigned only to the Admin by default. Therefore, it is

ﬁrst necessary to grant rights for statistics viewing to speciﬁc users and/or groups under

Users and Groups.

Statistics are available via the Kerio Control web interface. You can enter the web interface at

the URL following this pattern:

https://<firewall>:4081/

which is in our example:

https://server.company.com:4081/

Users with rights to view statistics see the Kerio StaR’s main page with overall statistics upon

their logon to the web interface. Other users see the web interface welcome page ﬁrst.

By default, the web interface is available from the LAN. To make it available from the Internet,

it is necessary to deﬁne a corresponding traﬃc rule (see chapter

2.14).

Detailed information addressing the Kerio Control web interface and Kerio StaR is provided in

the Kerio Control — User’s Guide available at http://www.kerio.com/ﬁrewall/manual.
