Windows Firewall
The Windows Firewall is a security feature designed to help protect your computer from unauthorized access and cyber threats. It acts as a barrior between your computer and the Internet, and helps prevent malicious software and hackers from gaining access to your system.
Windows Firewall comes with Windows and is turned on by default. Only one firewall should be active on a computer at any given time.
Occasionally, the Windows Firewall may ask you to verify if a connection to your computer is legitimate. You may see the following prompt. If you know that the connection is one that you initiated, it should be safe to ‘Allow Access’, however if you are unsure, feel free to take a screenshot and send it to the Service-Desk for validation before continuing.
