23.2 Configuration Backup and Transfer

Once configuration of network interfaces is corrected, it is not necessary to restart the computer or WinRoute Firewall Engine. Simply login to the Administration Console again to make sure that the incorrect settings have been fixed (i.e. the alert is not displayed). Typically, traffic from the local network to the Internet starts working at this point.

A configuration example along with detailed instructions is provided in the Kerio WinRoute Firewall — Step-by-Stepguide.

It is strongly recommended not to disable displaying of this alert — whenever configu- ration of network interfaces is changed, the problem may occur again!

Note: In very special cases, existence of more default gateways (with different metrics) may be desired. If you are sure that your configuration is correct and if all traffic between the local network and the Internet is working smoothly, you can disable displaying of the alert.

23.2 Configuration Backup and Transfer

Configuration files

All WinRoute configuration data is stored in the following files under the same directory where WinRoute is installed

(the typical path is C:\Program Files\Kerio\WinRoute Firewall).

The following files are included:

winroute.cfg

Chief configuration file

UserDB.cfg

Information about groups and user accounts.

host.cfg

Preferences for backs-up of configuration, user accounts data, DHCP server data- base, etc.

logs.cfg

Log configurations

Note: The data in these files are saved in XML format so that it can be easily modified by an advanced user or generated automatically using another application.

Files in the following directories are also considered as configuration data:

dbSSL

An automatically generated SSL certificate generated for traffic between the

WinRoute Firewall Engine and the Administration Console.
