[Trisquel-users] Re : What's the point of a firewall?

[magicbanana]

I do not think there is a relation between NoScript, which prevents the  
execution of some code included in a Web page, and a firewall, which filters  
connections (from a given application if outgoing or from a given IP if  
ingoing) on a given port. As far as I understand, the code in a Web page is  
downloaded with the Web page using, like the rest of the Web page, the HTPP  
protocol on the port 80 (by default). The firewall cannot differentiate that  
code from the rest of the page.
