A DNS Firewall is a shield against scams and malware that attempt to redirect you to malicious websites. DNS is a way to translate DNS addresses into numerical numerical IP addresses in order to access Google’s website. The way a firewall works is quite similar to the way ships enter a busy coastal port: When a boat wants to dock, it requests permission to enter the port.
