## 2.1 What's new in 6.7.1

In version 6.7.1, WinRoute brings the following new features:

Kerio WinRoute Firewall Software Appliance / VMware Virtual Appliance

  Kerio WinRoute Firewall is now available as a so called software appliance (Software Appliance / VMware Virtual Appliance). This appliance is distributed as a full installation package with the firewall and operating system and can be installed on a physical or virtual computer without an operating system. Software Appliance cannot be installed on a computer with another operating system. Installation package of the standalone product for installation on Linux is not available.

  Kerio WinRoute Firewall in the Software Appliance / VMware Virtual Appliance edition provides the same features as the Windows version, only with the Kerio Clientless SSL-VPN interface missing.

Web administration interface (Web Administration)

  The new Web Administration interface allows both remote and local administration of the firewall without the need to install the Kerio Administration Console. This interface allows configuration of crucial WinRoute parameters — the interface, traffic policy, HTTP and FTP filtering rules, user accounts and groups, etc. However, the Kerio Administration Console is still available and allow setting of all configuration options.

  The Web Administration interface is available at `https://server:4081/admin` (`server` stands for the firewall name or IP address and `4081` for the default port of its web interface).

  Refer to chapter 3 WinRoute Administration for more information.

Exporting and Importing Configuration

  WinRoute now includes also a special backup-and-recovery tool which allows to back up and recover full configuration including local user accounts and SSL certificates. These functions allow easy and quick recovery of the firewall for cases of hardware failure, transfer to another computer and cloning of an identical configuration for multiple firewalls. To export or import configuration, go to the Web Administration interface.

  More details can be found in chapter 25.1 Configuration Backup and Transfer.

Kerio Web Filter, the new web page rating module

  Kerio Web Filter is a special module, used for rating of web pages in accordance to their content categories. In WinRoute, it replaces the ISS OrangeWeb Filter module. The way of how filtering rules are created is the same as before.

  More details can be found in chapter 12.3 Content Rating System (Kerio Web Filter).

Support for Windows 7

  Kerio WinRoute Firewall now includes full support for the new operating system Microsoft Windows 7.
