Host-Based Firewall

A host-based firewall is a software application that resides on a single computer (the "host") and controls network traffic in and out of that machine. It acts as a barrier, examining incoming and outgoing network connections based on pre-configured rules. These rules dictate which connections are allowed or blocked, providing a layer of protection specifically tailored to the individual host system.
