Configuring network interfaces
Interfaces overview
Kerio Control represents a gateway between two or more networks (typically between the local
network and the Internet) and controls traffic passing through network adapters which are
connected to these networks.
In Kerio Control, you can define the following groups of interfaces:
• Internet Interfaces — interfaces which can be used for Internet connection,
• Trusted / Local Interfaces — interfaces connected to local private networks protected
by the firewall,
• VPN interfaces — virtual network interfaces (Kerio VPN, IPsec VPN),
• Other interfaces — interfaces which do not belong to any of the groups listed above
(i.e. dial-like links).
Configuring interfaces
A configuration wizard is available for the setup of basic interface parameters:
1. In the administration interface, go to Interfaces.
2. Click More Actions → Configure in Wizard.
3. Read article Configuration Assistant.
During the initial firewall configuration by the wizard, interfaces will be arranged into groups
automatically. This classification can be changed later.
Moving an interface to another group
To move an interface to another group, drag it by mouse to the desired destination group, or
