Arpanet was intended to give solid correspondence during worldwide atomic war. An immense system of interconnected PCs was set up everywhere throughout the world to permit the different parts of US and NATO powers to speak with one another.
Atomic war never came (fortunately) and the world was left with an enormous system of PCs all associated together with nothing to do. Schools and colleges began to utilize these PCs for sharing examination globally. From that point it developed and spread outside schools to neighborhood homes and organizations. The World Wide Web was conceived and its dad was a person called Tim Berners Lee.

In the event that it sees something perilous happening it hinders that port on your PC to ensure your PC remains safe from the individual who is attempting to hack into your framework.
A simpler method to comprehend a firewall is picture your PC as a high rise. At the front entryway of this complex there is a security monitor. Each individual who enters the complex must pass this security watch. In the event that the security watchman perceives the individual entering as an occupant he enables them to go without saying anything. Assuming, in any case, the individual entering the complex is obscure to him then he will stop that individual and request recognizable proof. On the off chance that they should not be being at the high rise he accompanies them from the structure.
On the off chance that you are not as of now utilizing firewall programming your PC will get hacked into - that is a certification.
