As it is, we're stuck in "whatever distros do" territory.</p>
42
<p>Your system should be equipped with a <em>firewall</em> that allows it to block programs from being accessed by other people on the internet or your network. This helps to keep your computer secure.</p>
43
<p>Many applications can use your network connection. For instance, you can share files or let someone view your desktop remotely when connected to a network. Depending on how your computer is set up, you may need to adjust the firewall to allow these services to work as intended.</p>
44
<p>Each program that provides network services uses a specific <em>network port</em>. To enable other computers on the network to access a service, you may need to "open" its assigned port on the firewall:</p>
48
<p>Go to <gui>Activities</gui> in the top left corner of the screen and start your firewall application. You may need to install a firewall manager yourself if you can't find one (for example, Firestarter or GUFW).</p>
51
<p>Open or disable the port for your network service, depending on whether you want people to be able to access it or not. Which port you need to change will <link xref="net-firewall-ports">depend on the service</link>.</p>
54
<p>Save or apply the changes, following any additional instructions given by the firewall tool.</p>
