A firewall monitors and controls the traffic coming into and out of the account. The traffic of the Internet consists of information which takes the form of data packets. A firewall evaluates each data packet and determines whether or not to pass the packet to one's account. A firewall prevents the account from receiving an overwhelming quantity of unwanted traffic. Some of the unwanted traffic may be simply bothersome. Other traffic may actually be sent from malicious Internet users who intend to make the account inoperable. Either way, building a firewall is an important configuration task to consider. This paper provides with the information to understand, get started, and utilize preset firewall security settings using a custom, simplified command (set_fwlevel).
