Learn the basic functionality of the Windows Firewall.
- [Instructor] To find the Windows Firewall…I'll right click on the Windows button…and select Control Panel.…We can see the Windows Firewall link…towards the bottom of the page.…Let's select it.…The main screen of the Windows Firewall…has a set of links on the left and two information panels…in the body of the screen.…The top panel provides information on…Home or Private networks…and in the bottom panel Public networks.…These are called our network zones.…When we set up a new network on the computer…Windows will ask whether the network is…either: Home, Work or Public…and configure the network settings accordingly.…
We can see that the firewall is on…and we're connected to the private Home network.…We're not connected to any guest or public networks.…The first of the two major features of the Windows Firewall…is its ability to filter on applications.…I select the link…Allow A Program Or Feature Through Windows Firewall…at the top of the left-hand list.…This link displays a list of programs…which are allowed to communicate into the network zone…
