| A **Hardware Firewall** is a physical device similar to a [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:s:server|server]] that filters traffic to a computer. Instead of plugging the network cable into the server, it is connected to the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:f:firewall|firewall]], positioning the firewall between the uplink and the computer. Like a standard computer with a [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:p:processor|processor]], memory, and sophisticated software, these devices also employ powerful networking components (hardware and software) and force all traffic traversing that connection to be inspected by configurable rulesets which grant or deny access accordingly. | A **Hardware Firewall** is a physical device similar to a [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:s:server|server]] that filters traffic to a computer.
