    This is a dangerous and distracting internet. Hackers pose a threat to all of us, not just large corporations and government networks. And the internet offers seemingly unlimited supplies of harmful and time-consuming content that you probably dont want network users to see. Firewall is a truly effective response to these problems. And fortunately for you, you probably already have one built into your operating system or internet router. Heres how to set it up. Contents1 Hardware and software firewalls2 Setting up your routers firewall3 Setting up your computers firewall Hardware and software firewalls In general, you have two types of firewall at your disposal. Hardware firewalls / Router-based firewall – The firewall in your internet router is a hardware firewall: it is a dedicated device. Since it is located at the gateway between the Internet and your entire network, the traffic filtered by it is usually blocked for everyone. This makes it ideal for setting filtering rules for the entire network. This is more efficient and easier to manage than using separate firewalls for each computer. With one device filtering traffic at the main gateway, you can save computing power and simplify security policy. Software firewalls – Firewalls built into Windows and OS X are, of course, software. You can also purchase third-party firewall software, such as Comodo and Firewall. These firewalls can only filter traffic from the computer on which they are installed. By using a combination of hardware and software firewalls on each of your network gateways, you can create a security policy that serves your entire network and specific computers. Setting up your routers firewall Your routers firewall is usually managed from your browser through a web interface. Check your routers documentation on how to access it. Typical features you can use: Setting security levels – Most router firewalls come with a choice of security levels. Typically, the firewall can block all unwanted incoming connections as they can be malicious. You can choose a higher or lower security level according to your needs, and then configure them with additional rules. Port forwarding – If you use internet services that establish incoming connections, you will need to find out the port numbers used by these services and “forward them”. Typical examples include online games and p2p sharing services. Address filtering – Block access to specific websites for all users on your network by creating a list of domain names you want to filter out. DMZ – “demilitarized zone” – is an area outside the
