A firewall allows you to block or allow connections through selected ports or port ranges. The way you use it is independent of it being a firewall or not. You can use a firewall, for instance, to segment a _private_ network from another segment of the same _private_ network. It need not be used only to segment a private network from a public network. >They market it as a firewall, but in all terminology its not, just a basic port >listener that opens all your ports and listens for incoming SYN_PKTsS. What do you call a port listener that can also block selected activity? It's not just a port listener anymore. >Look at the code, you'll see. You've looked at the code for BlackIceDefender? How do you characterize its ability to block ports as being a port listener?
