What is Firewall
A Firewall can be defined as
a network security device
whose function is to monitor
and filter incoming and
outgoing network traffic
based on the predefined
security policies established
by an organization to protect
it from any unethical
practices. J.C BOSE UNIV
WORKING OF FIREWALL
Packet filtering
It offers basic filtering by checking all individual
data traffic sent across a network, including where
data comes from and where the data is going.

Proxy Firewall
A proxy firewall resembles a physical barrier very
closely. In contrast to other kinds of firewalls, it
functions as two extra hosts, one acting as a
representation or proxy for each network
between internal host computers and external
networks.

Hybrid Firewall
hybrid Firewall is made by combining packet
filtering and proxy firewall in series which makes it
the most secure firewall.
