| 18007 | 2001-09-03 00:46:00 | Hi. Try www.grc.com and go to his firewall page - some fantastic information there on personal versions. Basically a firewall is a packet filter which examines incoming and outgoing data and destinations and blocks according to rules you've set. Works similar to a proxy, but not as efficiently. A technical but readable discussion on the differences can be found on a local site: http://www.soho-systems.co.nz/ |
