10. Firewall
One of the best internet safety tips is to use your firewall to stop
people entering your computer system from outside your location. It also
stops programs accessing the internet from your computer if they
shouldn’t be. A firewall is active as standard on most computers but you
should regularly check that yours is active to avoid having your system
compromised. Also your router should have its own firewall and you can
enable this by entering the settings by finding the router IP address and logging in.
