Kerio Control Installation and Configuration

Accessing Kerio Control

After installation, Kerio Control automatically detects your Internet and local interfaces. For successful detection of the network interfaces, connect Kerio Control to the appropriate networking equipment (e.g., modem, switch, access point and so on) prior to installation.

You can access the full administration from a web browser by inputting the IP address of the firewall. Note that your management computer must be in the same IP subnet as the firewall.

The Virtual and Software Appliance editions include a separate administration interface that the administrator can access directly from the operating system. This dialog box includes only essential features and is primarily useful when you are not able to access the web administration. Capabilities of this interface include:

• Allow remote administration from untrusted networks
• Perform a factory reset
• Shutdown/restart
• Configure TCP/IP parameters

Activating Kerio Control

When the administrator first logs in to the web administration interface, the Activation Wizard opens. The wizard sets the basic system parameters:

• Select the default language
• Confirm Internet Connectivity
• Set the local date and time
• Activate the license
• Assign a password for administration
• Set alerts and notifications
• Enable management from MyKerio

Defining network interfaces and connectivity

Network interfaces in Kerio Control provide routing between local networks and the Internet. You must configure networking parameters and define your Internet connectivity before any other types of firewall configuration. The administrator can manage network interfaces and Internet connectivity inConfiguration → Interfaces. Capabilities include:

• Organize interfaces into groups
• Configure Internet link load balancing
• Add VLAN interfaces
• Create VPN tunnels
• Assign TCP/IP parameters to network interfaces
• Add interfaces for L2TP, PPPoE, or Dial-up connections

Windows 10 Installation

Microsoft today launched Windows 10 giving the millions of people who own Windows 7 and 8 computers a chance to obtain for free to the company’s latest operating system.
When you first boot the computer you’ll see a screen like this one:

Click Next and you’ll be taken to the Install now button screen. Which obviously you should click.

At this point you can choose whether you want to upgrade Windows or install a new custom install. Since we’re recommending that everybody install into a virtual machine or on a test PC, you should select Custom here.

Update: You should probably choose to Upgrade the first time, because the license key might not work otherwise.

At this point you’ll need to pick where to install Windows 10. You might need to delete or create a partition, but if you are using a virtual machine, you can just click Next.

And now it will install.

Once the PC reboots again, you’ll be able to select the settings like whether Windows Updates are enabled (they aren’t allowed to be disabled in the preview). We’d recommend just using the express settings if you are using a test machine — use Custom if you’re really going to use the computer.

And now you can sign into your Microsoft account. We’d recommend using a Microsoft account because otherwise you won’t be able to use half of the new features and you may as well use Linux or stick with Windows 7.
