## 2.9 WinRoute Components

WinRoute consists of the following modules:

WinRoute Firewall Engine

  WinRoute Firewall Engine is the core of the program that provides all services and functions. It is running as a service in the operating system (the service is called Kerio WinRoute Firewall and it is run automatically within the system account by default).

WinRoute Engine Monitor (Windows only)

  Allows viewing and modification of the Engine's status (stopped / running) and setting of start-up preferences (i.e. whether Engine and Monitor should be run automatically at system start-up). It also provides easy access to the Administration Console. For details, refer to chapter 2.10 WinRoute Engine Monitor (Windows).

  Note: WinRoute Firewall Engine is independent on the WinRoute Engine Monitor. The Engine can be running even if there is no icon in the system tray.

Kerio Administration Console (Windows only)

  It is a versatile console for full local or remote administration of Kerio Technologies server products. For successful connection to an application you need a plug-in with an appropriate interface.

  Kerio Administration Console is installed on Windows hand-in-hand with the appropriate module during the installation of Kerio WinRoute. The separate installation package Kerio Administration Console for WinRoute is available for remote administration from another host. The Kerio Administration Console is available for Windows only, but it can be used for administration of both WinRoute installed on Windows and Kerio WinRoute Firewall Software Appliance / VMware Virtual Appliance.

  Detailed guidance for Kerio Administration Console is provided in Kerio Administration Console — Help (http://www.kerio.com/firewall/manual).

The firewall's console (Software Appliance / VMware Virtual Appliance only)

  The firewall's console is a simple interface permanently running on the WinRoute host. It allows to set basic parameters of the operating system and the firewall for cases when it is not possible to administer it remotely via the Web Administration interface or the Kerio Administration Console.
