7.4. Firewall
Firewall is a system that enforces an access control policy between two or more
networks by blocking/permitting traffic. Firewall contains a set of rules that protect
the internal network from attacks originating outside (typically from the Internet) and
controls all communication on every single network port. The communication is
evaluated according to the defined rules, and then either allowed or forbidden. If
Firewall recognizes any intrusion attempts, it “blocks” the attempt and does not allow
the intruder access to the computer.
Firewall is configured to allow or deny internal/external communication (both ways, in
or out) through defined ports, and for defined software applications. For example, the
firewall could be configured to only permit web data to flow in and out using Microsoft
Explorer. Any attempt to transmit web data by any other browser would be blocked.
Firewall protects your personally-identifiable information from being sent from your
computer without your permission. It controls how your computer exchanges data with
other computers on the Internet or local network. Within an organization, the firewall
also protects the single computer from attacks initiated by internal users on other
computers in the network.

more firewalls. It is more probable that some conflicts between these two
