Kerio Tech Network Monitor

Chapter 6 Conﬁguration

Daemon is installed, it is possible to use the standard port 80 — then it will be no

longer necessary to specify the port in the browser, when connecting to the WWW

interface of Kerio NetworkMonitor.

Accept ’X-Forwarded-for’ tag... This option enables the Kerio Network Monitor to get

the IP addresses of the client computers from the X-Forwarded-for tag in the HTTP

request, which was accepted by the embedded WWW server from the proxy server.

Set this option in case that local computers use a proxy server for the Internet ac-

cess. In this conﬁguration Kerio Network Monitor “sees”only the requests from the

proxy server. In the X-Forwarded-for tag (which is added by the proxy server), it is

possible to ﬁnd the IP address of the client — the real originator of the HTTP request.

Enter the IP address of the proxy server, which should Kerio Network Monitor accept

the X-Forwarded-for tag from (it can not be accepted from any proxy server, be-

cause this feature could be misused by the clients easily) to the appropriate ﬁeld.

If the proxy server is running on the same computer as the Kerio Network Monitor

Daemon, use the loopback address 127.0.0.1.

The above described problem can be solved by setting the WWW browser so that

it does not use the proxy server for local address (but this option can usually be

changed by the users).

The following options deﬁne the behavior of the WWW interface if it is opened by the

anonymous user (i.e. is not logged in with the user name and the password — see

chapter 8.1).

The default setting supposes that each user can view only information about his own

computer (that, which is he connected to the WWW interface from). If the user has

appropriate access rights to Kerio Network Monitor (i.e. has created the user account —

see chapter 6.3), he can log in and see all the information, which Kerio Network Monitor

oﬀers.

Show ’All computers’ item The option All computers will be shown in the list of the

computers (i.e. show the statistics for all of the computers, logged by Kerio Network

Monitor).

Groups visible Option determining, which groups can be seen by anonymous users (No

groups visible — no groups, Groups I’m in — only the group, which the computer, that

is connected to the interface, belongs to or All groups — all groups).

Computers visible This option determines, which computers can be seen (No comput-

ers — no computers, Only my computer — only the computer, which he is connected

from or All computers—all computers).
