The WinRoute's web interface provides detailed statistics on users, volume of transferred data, visited websites and web categories. This information may help figure out browsing activities and habits of individual users.

The statistics monitor the traffic between the local network and the Internet. Volumes of data transferred between local hosts and visited web pages located on local servers are not included in the statistics (also for technical reasons).

One of the benefits of web statistics and reports is their high availability. The user (usually an office manager) does not need the Administration Console and they even do not need WinRoute administrator rights (special rights are used for statistics). Statistics viewed in web browsers can also be easily printed or saved on the disk as web pages.

Notes:

  1. The WinRoute administrator should inform users that their browsing activities are monitored by the firewall.

  2. Statistics and reports in WinRoute should be used for reference only. It is highly unrecommended to use them for example to figure out exact numbers of Internet connection costs per user.
