2.4 WinRoute Components

Kerio WinRoute consists of the three following components:

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

Allows viewing and modification of the Engine’s status (stopped/running) and set- ting of start-up preferences (i.e. whether Engine and/or Monitor should be run au- tomatically at system start-up). It also provides easy access to the Administration Console. For details, refer to chapter 2.5.
