A control list of your firewall that you can access.
answer #2
--------------
an access control list is a set of rules that are compared to each incoming or outgoing packet or access to determine if they are allowed to pass. The rules have different formats depending on the manufacture but they do the same thing. For example a rule may say drop all packets to port external port 155, or drop all web requests from the inside to a particular web site. In a properly configured firewall all traffic is blocked unless it matches a specific rule, this prevents an application (like a virus) using an oddball port to communicate and download more dangerous software. When a new virus is discovered one way to prevent its spread is publicize the ports it uses so they can be at least monitored if not blocked entirely.

No; the guard between your computer and the Internet is usually called a firewall. An ACL is an access control list, and it specifies which users/machines can access a resource.
Access control list
An access control lists specifies the various users and what level of access they have. If you activate an access control list in a application, the various components of the application will be accessed based on the level of access permitted to them and the access level specified in the access control list for the currently logged in user.
Firewalls control all incoming and outgoing connections and if it's required block it or limit. Firewalls work with software, but not with accounts. Access lists control permissions and read-write rights for users (accounts) with certain username and password (if required).
The list of rules that a firewall uses to determine which traffic to block is called an "Access Control List" (ACL). An ACL defines the criteria for allowing or denying network traffic based on attributes such as IP addresses, port numbers, and protocols. Firewalls apply these rules to filter incoming and outgoing traffic, ensuring that only authorized communication is permitted while unauthorized access is blocked.
In Windows Vista, the control panel feature used to verify the firewall settings is the "Windows Firewall" option found in the Control Panel. Users can access it by navigating to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Firewall. This feature allows users to check the status of the firewall, customize settings, and manage allowed programs.
