Users report that web filtering is not functioning as expected in Kerio Control. When checking the settings, the status shows “Not Activated” and “Categorization is Disabled.” As a result, URL filtering, content rules, and category-based policies are not enforced.
If the Web Filter disables itself because of DNS timeouts, you can force it to stay active by disabling the reliability check. Log in to the Kerio Control console via SSH . Navigate to the winroute directory: cd /opt/kerio/winroute
Kerio Control downloads categorization data from GFI’s servers. If updates fail → categorization stays disabled.
Check for the absence of "Invalid authorization" or "Unable to categorize" entries.
