Introduction

Kerio VPN Client is an application which enables connection from individual hosts (clients) to a remote private network via the Internet using an encrypted channel. These clients canaccess the private networks as if they were connected to them physically. Kerio VPN Client is connected to the VPN server in Kerio WinRoute Firewall (WinRoute). WinRoute user accounts are used for authentication of clients. Use of the Kerio VPN Client is easy and intuitive. Only name or IP address of the server to which the connection is directed, as well as a password and username are required.Other settings (routing configuration, DNS, etc.) will be performed automatically by the Kerio VPN Client. Kerio VPN Client supports user profiles. Each user of a host where Kerio VPN Client is installed can use a personal VPN connection. Users with administrator rights can also established so called persistent connections. Such connections are also automatically recovered upon each workstationreboot.
