The important thing is to know what is first the Firewall (in Spanish firewall). This system is designed to block any unauthorized access to the system or the network, that is, allowing incoming connections that are not considered harmful and are necessary. Firewalls are installed using software or hardware, in the case of the Windows 10 firewall it is obviously a security function included in the operating system that we must take into account. They are of vital importance, since they prevent unauthorized users from entering private networks connected to the Internet, such as a company intranet, or our own home network. We teach you how to activate and deactivate the Windows 10 Firewall, since on certain occasions it will be necessary to dispense with this security measure.
It is quite common to disable these "Firewalls" in cases of installation of unauthorized software or that comes from uncertain sources.
- En Start, iremos a Windows system to go immediately to our classic Control panel and select option Security system. Inside it we find the functions menu of the Windows firewall.
- We'll find the switches Enable and disable Windows Firewall. You may be asked for an administrator password, the most normal thing, since we are going to change security and network preferences quite important.
- In the network configuration that suits us, we will select «Activate Windows Firewall»If what we want is to activate it.
It is important that we know the risks that this includes, We should not disable the Windows Firewall unless we have another firewall installed by software or hardware. If we choose to do so, our computer will be vulnerable to external attacks, so it is important that if we deactivate it we have a good antivirus installed, however, I do not recommend deactivating it in any case.
