| Most home network routers include a built-in hardware firewall that monitors and blocks inbound communications at the network level. By comparison, a PC firewall can monitor and block both inbound and outbound communications at the PC level. For the most complete protection, a PC firewall should be installed on every computer on a network. Combined, a router's firewall and a PC firewall provide multiple layers of protection that a router firewall couldn't provide by itself. And unlike your home network router, a PC firewall can easily go where your computer goes. Only a PC firewall can protect your Internet-connected computer on the road. |
