Firewall could be a Software application or an Hardware
Device. Software Firewall is installed on OS and Hardware
Firewall installed on the network connection. The main
purpose of Firewall is to block the traffic. It allows the
incoming and outgoing traffic based on the rules we create.

or block based on the rules. There are different types of
Firewall. Statefull, stateless and Deep Packet Filtering
which is called IDS(Intrusion Detection System).
