KerioControl hardware devices support Wi-Fi

Kerio Technologies launches KerioControl NG100W and KerioControl NG300W hardware devices with embedded WiFi access point which provide connectivity for wireless devices such as cell phones, tablets, and laptops. The KerioControl WiFi module supports:

• Dual-band antenna, which provides 2.4 or 5 GHz
• Wireless standards 802.11a, b, g, n, and ac
• Authentication: none, WPA, WPA2 (PSK or Enterprise)
• Up to eight wireless networks (SSIDs)

Read more in our Knowledge Base:

• Managing WiFi in KerioControl NG100W and NG300W
• Configuring WiFi guest networks on KerioControl NG100W and NG300W
• Wireless bridging on KerioControl NG100W and NG300W

Optimizing performance with LSO

KerioControl includes large segment offload, also referred to as generic segmentation offload. LSO allows the network interface controller to process the segmentation of a data transfer and significantly improves performance. However, these improvements are noticeable only during large data transfers, such as file downloads, or video streams.

The throughput gain depends on the particular deployment. For example, you can expect up to 400 Mbps on the KerioControl NG100 hardware appliance.

Read more in our Knowledge Base: Optimizing performance with large segment offload.

Blocking incoming connections from specified countries

KerioControl allows you to filter incoming traffic by country (GeoIP). KerioControl then blocks all IP addresses that belong to the countries specified in the filter.

Read more in our Knowledge Base: Blocking all incoming connections from specified countries.

IPsec VPN tunnel configuration update

KerioControl 9.2 adds a detailed configuration for IKE and ESP ciphers used in IPsec VPN tunnels. With this detailed configuration you can easily create IPsec VPN tunnels with third-party firewalls.
