Looks like Kerio completely revamped the administration console interface
and some interesting new features were added like:

- named services
- filtering on port lists
- traffic monitoring
- unified interface similar to Kerio Mail server, Kerio Net Monitor
- use of plug-ins which, I guess, allows customized expansion
- URL groups

However, there seems to be some things missing:
- no mail server
- no advanced NAT (deal killer!)
- no ability to filter any protocol, just TCP and UDP (No ICMP, IGMP or flag
filtering, for example)
- admin console incompatible with older Winroute engines. No import feature
from old Winroute setups.

And there are still some things not yet added that:
- ability to modify OS's route table from administrator's console
- no policy filtering (routing on the basis of service, protocol or
time-of-day instead of just destination address)

Although some glitz was added, overall it looks like functionality has been
reduced and simplified. Does not bode well. I haven't actually used it to
route a LAN's internet traffic. I'll wait until a later version that allows
me to save what I've got.
