Why do we need firewalls?

There are a few things which are typically referred to as "firewalls", with different purposes. All of them however control access to a network by restricting which ports and IP addresses can be connected to.

## Software Firewalls

This is the thing built into Windows and other operating systems that pops up boxes saying "Do you want to allow [thing x] to connect to the Internet?". They're designed to prevent malicious software that has been installed on your machine sending your data to other places, or bulk mailing people. They can also be used to restrict connections coming in to your computer.

## Hardware Firewalls

Good day to you sirs and madams,

I've been asked via Twitter by Danny on your customer support team to make a formal complaint. Presumably contacting you via Twitter wasn't considered formal enough. I shall endeavour to make sure we've been introduced and bow correctly next time.

On Saturday the 15th of June a large parcel was delivered to my address, 20 Middle Hill, despite the label on said parcel saying 20 Egham Hill. Well, I say it was delivered. Others might say it was unceremoniously dumped outside the front door in the rain.

At 1:20pm on that day I rang your customer support phone line, but everyone goes home at 1pm on a Saturday. In exasperation I had a quick moan about it on Twitter. They're used to me moaning about your service since almost every delivery results in the driver not finding my house for several attempts, or just plain not turning up.

On Monday Danny sent me a message, suggesting that if I got in touch he could arrange for the parcel to be picked up. Success! A customer service tri
