Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A firewall is typically placed between the internet and a network to protect the network from external threats such as hackers, viruses, and malware. It monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic to prevent unauthorized access to the network. Placing a firewall between a computer and a server, an intranet and a client computer, or an extranet and a client computer may also provide some level of security, but it would not provide as comprehensive protection as placing it between the internet and a network. Network interfaces and client computers do not require a firewall as they are internal to the network.
