Step by step process flow of how firewall to protect your personal computer and private network from malicious mischief.
At their most basic, firewalls work like a filter between your computer/network and the Internet. You can program what you want to get out and what you want to get in. Everything else is not allowed. There are several different methods firewalls use to filter out information, and some are used in combination. These methods work at different layers of a network firewall, which determines how specific the filtering options can be.
Firewalls can be used in a number of ways to add security to your home or business.
