How the firewall protects you?
So, how exactly the firewall protects your computer and the important private information on it? To do so, your computer sends a DNS request packet to another computer (called DNS server) and asks it for the IP address of www.cnn.com. The DNS server sends a DNS response packet with the requested information and our computer is ready to send another request packet to the computer of CNN and then waits for its response, which will contain the requested web page.
Please note that in this case your computer initiates the connection and the connection is outgoing.
