WinRoute Engine performs all routing and analysis operations (NAT, packet filtering, port mapping etc.). You may Start/Stop WinRoute Engine from the WinRoute Engine Monitor or, if running Windows NT, directly from NT services option.
WinRoute Engine Monitor is the monitoring application that shows whether WinRoute Engine is active or not. It appears as a little blue-white icon in the system tray.
WinRoute Administration program provides the configuration and settings for the WinRoute Engine. WinRoute Administration program is a separate application (wradmin.exe) that may be copied to any computer in your network or in Internet and run from it.
Our Review: This program is a utility designed for use on small to mediums sized LANs. It handles addressing of packet mail, file caching and a heap of other things. The user interface is not great, although it is not designed for use by learners and therefore does not need the bells and whistles. WinRoute also has a healthy capacity to act in a firewall capacity to protect networks as well. The most significant feature of this application is by far the fact that it is free. Overall, this is a pretty good program with some useful functions.
