On Windows 11, the firewall, also known as Microsoft Defender Firewall, is a built-in security feature designed to protect your computer from unauthorized access over the internet or network. It acts as a barrier, monitoring incoming and outgoing network traffic and blocking potentially harmful connections.
This security feature is available through the Windows Security app, providing a user-friendly interface for managing settings and monitoring activity. For example, you can configure the firewall to allow or block specific apps from accessing the network, ensuring granular control over your system's security. The firewall also offers different settings for different network types, allowing you to customize your computer's security based on the network environment and more.
