`Hey,

Note: If you have any queries related the answer please do comment. I would be very happy to resolve all your queries.

The router acts as a barrier between the Internet and devices on your home network. The firewall features are enabled by default and block any information requests from the Internet directed to your computer. You can see the available settings on the "Firewall" page under the "Security" tab of your router interface.

A firewall is a system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network. You can implement a firewall in either hardware or software form, or a combination of both. Firewalls prevent unauthorized internet users from accessing private networks connected to the internet, especially intranets.

An intrusion detection system is a device or software application that monitors a network or systems for malicious activity or policy violations. Any intrusion activity or violation is typically reported either to an administrator or collected centrally using a security information and event management system.

In computer terminology, a honeypot is a computer security mechanism set to detect, deflect, or, in some manner, counteract attempts at unauthorized use of information systems. A honeypot is a network-attached system set up as a decoy to lure cyberattackers and to detect, deflect or study hacking attempts in order to gain unauthorized access to information systems.
