This'll probably not put me in a good light here, but small thing. Firewalls, real firewalls, do ingress and egress filtering. You are speaking of just ingress, which is all fine and dandy, but that's part of the problem with Windows' own firewall - it only does ingress filtering by default.Elrond wrote:Firewall
As the term conveys, a firewall is an extra layer of security installed onto computers, which restricts access to systems from the outside world. Firewalls protect against hackers and malicious intruders.
That's what I just said.Alander wrote:The built-in Windows XP firewall, is not recommended as it does not block outgoing connections. This means that any malware on your computer is free to "phone home" for more instructions. Simply put, Windows XP contains a mediocre firewall. This firewall is NO replacement for a dedicated software solution. Remember to use only one firewall at the same time.
I know, my intention was to clarify that what you said was explaining what I meant.Alander wrote:some of the words u used are too technical not everyone will understand ingress and egress filtering
you have to understand that some people here have no technical knowledge about computers and firewall, and the aim of the university is to provide help to everyone, including those with no technical knowledge..
Some of those words like ingress and egress filtering will probably knock users out, they will probaby ask "what are those??"
The windows in-built firewall has a flaw, yes and we all know that, it does provides protection but only half of it. That is m$ design and nothing much we could do about it.. however when posting to the general public, you should avoid technical jargons
