Segurança de redes de computadores: um estudo sobre o Endian Firewall

Abstract

The general objective of this work was to identify and describe the functionalities of the Endian Firewall, used in computer networks. Regarding the methodological aspect, this research is bibliographic and experimental. The study allowed us to conclude with the experiments carried out, such as installing Kali Linux, configuring the Proxy to block specific websites and implementing OpenVPN. They provided a practical application of Endian Firewall's functionalities and proved its effectiveness. Configuring the firewall to allow the desired traffic and creating specific rules, such as port forwarding for remote desktop, demonstrated the system's flexibility and adaptability to the needs of the network administrator. It was also observed that the successful installation and configuration of Endian Firewall, combined with the experiments carried out, highlighted the effectiveness and versatility of this tool as a robust security solution for network environments. Understanding the various functionalities offered by Endian Firewall enables its use in business and residential environments, providing effective control and protection against security threats.
