Do you already know what a web firewall is? Let us tell you about it.<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s something that humans and machines have in common, and no, it\u2019s not the disappointment suffered by the final season of Game of Thrones, or, well, at least not only that. What we have in common is that we need protection. You know, animals need it too, and plants, but if you\u2019ve gotten this far, it seems that you\u2019re interested in computers, networks and all these pretty modern \u201cgeek\u201d things, so today we\u2019ll talk about that kind of protection.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just as you would protect your dog, your ficus or yourself, you have to protect your computer. The world is a place full of dangers and risks and the Internet is not far behind. It\u2019s like in Crystal Jungle, only instead of people carrying guns around, we\u2019ll find hunched over users willing to collect information from your computer, networks, and troll you in any possible way.<\/p>\n

Remember: \u201cThe night is dark and harbors errors\u201d<\/strong><\/em>. And horrors too.<\/p>\n

The Internet also hosts them, so to protect our beloved computer, we must make use of a \u201cWeb Firewall\u201d. What is this \u201cWeb Firewall\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A \u201cWeb Firewall\u201d is a system that is intended to protect our private network and block unauthorized access or attacks from other networks. In turn, it allows incoming and outgoing traffic between computers on the same network. That is, it is like the door of your house, or, worth the analogy, a half-open blind that only lets in a specific amount of breeze according to your personal comfort. <\/p>\n

But not only that, it can be our beloved ally, protector of what we love the most, since through configurations you may limit, encrypt or decrypt this traffic. Here\u2019s another lucid analogy: Maybe, in your day to day, you have to go to a clandestine meeting whose members no one should know. It is similar with your computer, you may encrypt your traffic so that you cannot access the most relevant data.<\/p>\n

The web firewall<\/strong>, capable of such feats, can be implemented in hardware or software. If it\u2019s well configured, it will be an advantage when it comes to protecting your networks, so it\u2019s vitally important to understand how it works and how you may get the most out of it.<\/p>\n

How does a web firewall work?<\/h3>\n

Outline of a firewall on a computer network<\/em><\/p>\n

It is usually located at the junction point between two networks. Each network or computer can have its own firewall. This can limit the consequences of an attack, as you can prevent damage from spreading from one network to another. The sooner the spread of evil is tackled, the better.<\/p>\n

The essential thing that you must know for the operation of the web firewall is that the totality of information and traffic<\/strong> that goes through our router and that is transmitted between networks is analyzed by it. If the traffic complies with the rules you have configured for it, it can enter or leave your network. If the traffic does not meet those certain rules, then it will be blocked from reaching its destination.<\/p>\n

There are several methods by which you may filter the traffic of the firewall, for example, configuring it as you please. Remember that a good firewall configuration is paramount. If the lock on your front door was badly designed and anyone could open it, bad people could get in and steal, this is the same thing.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at some of the filtering methods we\u2019ve been provided by our dear friend, the Web Firewall.<\/p>\n
