Introduction
This guide describes the steps needed to deploy WinRoute in an example network. This net-
work includes most elements present in a real-life WinRoute network — Internet access from
the local network, protection against attacks from the Internet, access to selected services on
the LAN from the Internet, user access control, automatic configuration of clients on the LAN,
user authentication in the Active Directory domain, user browsing behavior control, etc.
Another issue is to provide interconnection of networks between the headquarters and
a branch office by a secure (encrypted) channel (so called VPN tunnel) and secure access of
clients to the local network via the Internet using WinRoute.
This manual provides guidelines for quick setup. Detailed information addressing individual
WinRoute features and configuration instructions are provided in the Kerio WinRoute Firewall
— Administrator’s Guide available at http://www.kerio.com/firewall/manual.
Network configuration example
WinRoute configuration will be better understood through an example of a model network
shown at figure 1.1.
