New features

Intrusion Detection and Prevention

IP blacklist database blocks addresses linked to suspicious activities. Blacklists and Kerio-signed threat signatures are updated automatically as often as every hour.

MAC Address Filter
This feature allows an administrator to block or allow access to a network interface in Kerio Control based on a device’s MAC address, the unique identifier for its network adapter.

Any network interface, including Ethernet and WiFi, can be restricted to or from a device or group of devices. Decide which systems can access the Internet or connect via WiFi.

New License Policy
IP address connection is no longer considered a user. License allows up to five connected devices per user. Server license includes 5 users; additional user licenses are purchased in blocks of five.
