21.3 Connection to StaR and viewing statistics

259

For details on IP groups, see chapter 14.1.

Users and groups

Select users and/or user groups which will be excluded from the statistics and no quota

will be applied to them. This setting has the highest priority and overrules any other

quota settings in user or group preferences.

For details on users and groups, see chapter 15.

Web Pages

Deﬁne a URL group. Connections to web sites with these URLs will not be accounted. Such

exception can be used for example to exclude the own corporate web servers from the

statistics (connection to corporate websites is usually considered a work-related activity)

or to exclude ads connection to certain pages may download advertisements automati-

cally, it is not the user’s request. For this purpose, you can use the predeﬁned URL group

Ads/banners (see chapter 14.4).

Wildcards can be used in URL groups items. This implies that it is possible to deﬁne

exceptions for particular pages or for all pages on a particular server, all web servers in

a domain, etc. For details on URL groups, refer to chapter 14.1.

URL exceptions can be applied only to unsecured web pages (the HTTP protocol). Connec-

tions to secured pages (the HTTPS protocol) are encrypted and URL of such pages cannot

be detected.

Note: Unlike in case of exceptions described above, data transferred within connections

to such web pages will be included in the quota.

21.3 Connection to StaR and viewing statistics

To view statistics, user must authenticate at the WinRoute’s web interface ﬁrst. User (or the

group the user belongs to) needs rights for statistics viewing — see chapter 15.1. StaR can

be accessed by several methods, depending on whether connecting from the WinRoute host

(locally) or from another host (remotely).

Note: For details on the WinRoute’s web interface, see chapter 11.2.

Accessing the statistics from the WinRoute host

On the WinRoute host, the StaR may be opened as follows:

• By using the Internet Usage Statistics link available in the WinRoute Engine Monitor

context menu (opened by the corresponding icon in the notiﬁcation area — see chap-

ter 2.10).

• By using the Internet Usage Statistics link under Start → Programs → Kerio → WinRoute

Firewall.

Both links open the unsecured StaR interface directly on the local host (by default

http://localhost:4080/star) using the default web browser.
