What's new in Kerio VPN Client 8.1.1 Build 1212 Patch 3
Oct 30, 2013
- Backup configuration to Samepage.io:
- Loosing configuration of your Kerio Control may equal a natural disaster. To prevent you, we've implemented automatic backups of your server configuration to Samepage.io, Kerio´s business collaboration platform. Register for free or use your existing Samepage.io account and your Kerio Control configuration backups will be automatically saved every day. In the event of a failure admins can now remotely access the configuration backups for a quick restore.
- VPN tunnel failover:
- The more internet lines, the fewer outages of internet connectivity. With Kerio Control 8.1, VPN tunnels are not bound to a single internet line anymore. VPN tunnel failover enables admins to specify more hostnames or IP addresses of the remote endpoint. Your VPN tunnel, regardless of Kerio VPN or IPsec, will always look up and use an available internet connection.
- IP Tools:
- Making everyday life easier, Kerio Control now offers easy tools enabling admins to check status of their network. No need to log into a SSH console. The most widely used IP tools such as ping, traceroute, nslookup or whois are now available directly from the web administration interface.
- SNMP:
- Kerio Control now supports Simple Network Management Protocol so any of the firewall´s essential state information can be accessed over the standardized interface of SNMP protocol. Admins and Managed Service Providers can now remotely monitor multiple Kerio Control installations from any free or commercial SNMP compatible remote monitoring tool.
- Password guessing protection:
- Kerio Control is now protected against dangerous password guessing and vocabulary attacks. Any IP address, that suspiciously keeps logging into the system with no success, gets denied.
- Regular expressions in URL rules:
- To create groups of unwanted URLs, administrators sometimes tend to manually create lists of concrete servers. These, however, use different host names thus the groups become inaccurate. Regular expressions in URL conditions, a new feature of Kerio Control 8.1, allows admins to more precisely specify URLs in order to reduce the amount of necessary entries in URL groups and ensure better exactness.
- Other Changes:
- Discontinuation of Parallels virtual appliance support
