What is a Firewall?

A firewall is the most basic form of network security that you will find in your home. The basic firewall serves one purpose: to prevent unauthorized access and allow all other traffic through. Windows Firewall asks for an exception whenever a new program is installed on Windows. This is especially important if the program will interact with the Internet. The Steam Platform, for example, allows you to buy games at low prices and play them. All transactions are done online. This would be blocked by the Windows Firewall if it deemed the transaction to be malicious. This is also true for Steam games. The firewall will block any dangerous actions. Sometimes, the firewall is too protective and blocks communication with legitimate programs. You can correct this by manually making an exception in the firewall options.
