Stateful Firewall — Promotes Secure Communication
The lower part of the router connects the LAN side (the
local-area-network). The upper part connects the WAN side
(wide-area-network). A firewall (which can be disabled by the
user) separates the two parts.
A firewall controls the passing of messages from one side of a
router to the other. A stateful firewall acts on the structure of
the message and who is initiating and who is responding.
Originating requests from the LAN side and corresponding
responses from the WAN side pass through the firewall. But
traffic originating from the WAN side is blocked from the LAN
side unless the firewall is adjusted to allow it. This protects
the LAN side from unauthorised WAN access. NOTE: Wi-Fi
is part of the LAN.
