Kerio Control 9.4.5 Build 8573 (Firewall)

Kerio Control (Kerio WinRoute Firewall) is an award-winning UTM firewall designed to protect businesses from a comprehensive range of invasive and crippling corporate network threats.

Kerio Control’s auto-updating security layer detects and prevents emerging threats automatically while providing network administrators with flexible user policy tools. The software also provides the complete bandwidth management and QoS control, detailed network monitoring, and IPsec VPN connectivity for desktops, mobile devices and multiple sites.

Designed for corporate networks, it defends against external attacks and viruses and can restrict access to websites based on their content.

Kerio Control provides superior network protection and intelligence that is stable, secure, and above all, simple to manage. That sets new standards in versatility, security and user access control.

Kerio Control is equipped with VPN server, optional embedded Sophos Anti-Virus, integrated customizable ISS Orange Web Filter, and user-specific Internet access management. Also provides a multi-layer architecture for protecting networks, servers and users.

Kerio has added a new IDS/IPS system. It plays an instrumental role in detecting and preventing application exploits and malicious traffic. Just like built-in Sophos gateway antivirus, the IDS/IPS gets frequent automatic updates to ensure that networks are continuously shielded from emerging threats.

Changes in Kerio Control 9.4.5 (2024-10-17):

Improved:

• Added support for more Wi-Fi adapters (rtl88x2bu).
• Improved network performance when the GRO option is enabled in certain scenarios.
• Enhanced GFI AppManager integration. The Control GUI now displays more information about AppManager connections and allows user control over the Agent service.
• Application awareness updates now correctly categorize AI & ML traffic.
• Added support for creating IP address groups based on GeoIPs, enabling customized traffic management based on country.
• Added support for custom DNS servers for IKEv2 VPNs.
• Added support (via GFI AppManager) to import CSV files with IP addresses

Fixed:

• Restoring configuration from a backup would break AppManager connectivity forcing re-registration.
• Disconnected devices on IKEv2 VPNs were counted as being active incorrectly.
• Remote hosts over VPN were incorrectly counted against the local license limit incorrectly.
• The Linux VPN client failed to start connections correctly due to a MAC address conflict.
• Traffic rules on interfaces with complex names (e.g., including quotation marks) failed to apply.
• Clients on a guest network were not authenticated properly.
• The reverse proxy incorrectly attempted TLSv1 connections even when configured not to.
• Traffic routes were not correctly switched when using multiple internet links, causing extended packet loss after switching to a backup.
• Forbidden words failed to trigger a block correctly when using the “Safe Web” feature in some rare cases.
• Generated daily reports had an incorrect date when the configured time zone had a negative offset.
• Switching from a backup link to primary in failover mode could cause the appliance to hang indefinitely.

New in Kerio Control 9:

• MyKerio. Multiple administrators can manage appliances within an organizations
• Shared definitions in MyKerio. Allow you to create and manage IP address groups, URL groups and time ranges directly in MyKerio and share them across multiple Kerio Control appliances in a single organization.
• 2-step verification in MyKerio. The 2-step verification in MyKerio improves the security by requiring an authenticated user to provide an additional form of identification.
• Preventing denial of service attacks. The connection limits configuration that protects against denial of service (DoS) has been redesigned and now includes enhanced default settings.
• Bandwidth management works on IPv6. Supports bandwidth management on IPv6 including custom rules and bandwidth reservation.
• Zero-touch provisioning of Kerio Control Box. Deploy it using MyKerio. If Kerio Control Box is running and connected to the Internet, you can activate and configure the appliance remotely in MyKerio.
• Automatic identification of network interfaces. During installation, Kerio Control identifies Internet interfaces and local interfaces automatically.
