Application awareness in Kerio Control

Example: Limiting music access
Whenever Kerio Control processes a rule that includes applications and web categories, application awareness is activated. This example describes how to set up a rule limiting access to music for all users:

1. 
   In the administration interface, go to Bandwidth Management and QoS.
   

2. 
   Click Add.
   

3. 
   In the table, type a name for the rule.
   

4. 
   Double-click in the Traffic column.
   

5. 
   In the Traffic dialog box, click Applications and Web Categories.
   

6. 
   In the Applications and Web Categories dialog box, under Entertainment / Culture, select Music.
   

7. 
   Click OK twice.
   

8. 
   In the Download column, limit the bandwidth. In our example, the Ethernet line is limited to 400 KB/s for music.
   

9. 
   Click Apply.
   

After applying the rule, Kerio Control limits all users who listen to music with applications like Spotify or Internet radiostations.

2. 
   Right-click the column header.
   

3. 
   In the context menu, click Columns.
   

4. 
   Select Info.
   

From now on, the Info column displays applications detected by the application awareness.
