22. Firewall
The Firewall protects your computer from inbound and outbound unauthorized
connection attempts. It is quite similar to a guard at your gate - it will keep a watchful
eye on your Internet connection and keep track of who to allow access to the Internet
and who to block.
Note
A firewall is essential if you have a broadband or DSL connection.
In Stealth Mode your computer is “hidden from malicious software and hackers.
The firewall module is capable of automatically detecting and protecting against
port scans (streams of packets sent to a machine in order to find “access points”,
often in preparation for an attack).
22.1. Settings
To configure the firewall protection, go to Firewall>Settings in Expert Mode.
