How to enable firewall on home router
Enabling the firewall on your home router depends on the type and model of the router you are using,
The setup interface and available options vary from one router to another. However,
I will provide you with general steps that can help you enable the firewall on many home routers:
1. Open your preferred web browser (such as Google Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer) on the computer connected to the router.
2. Type the default IP address of the router in the browser’s address bar. The address may be 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 or other depending on your router. You can find this address in the router’s manual or on the router’s external box.
3. After typing the correct IP address, press the Enter key on your keyboard. You will be directed to the login page of the router’s setup interface.
4. Enter the correct username and password to log in to the router interface. The default username and password may be “admin” by default. If you do not know the correct username and password, please refer to your router’s manual.
5. After logging in, look for the Security section in the router’s interface. There may be different security tabs or the options may be listed in the side menu.
6. Look for the “Firewall” option and enable it by selecting the appropriate setting or checking the box next to enable.
7. After enabling the firewall, review the other settings available to configure the firewall and determine the desired level of protection. You can set specific ports and protocols to be allowed or blocked, configure traffic rules and filter traffic according to your needs.
8. Once you have completed the firewall settings, save the changes and restart the router to apply them.
Please note that these steps are general and there may be slight differences in the router settings interface depending on the manufacturer and model of the router.
Refer to your router’s manual or visit the manufacturer’s website for detailed and precise instructions on how to enable the firewall on your router.
