Re: What is meant by a Firewall in Computer Networking...
In computing, a firewall is a network security system that monitors and controls the incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules.
that is a complex topic, for sure.
it is LAN and WAN security device.
why not google this or take a computer class?
a zillion great web site covers this so me answering is redundant to the max.
lets do 1 answer for one of many ways a fire wall works that is WAN to LAN.
that means from the internet to you PC at home.
your WAN ISP port is 100% locked out.
If fact mine here can not be even pinged.
I'm 100% safe here.
Seen both in the ROUTER and again in the OS you run.
you have 2 fire walls for sure.
NO OS told but W10 has this too. control panel firewall look.
there is also Lan to lan, lan to wan firewalls.
Think of a firewall as huge digital filter, that is what it is.
from simple to complex.
