Firewalls are one of the important security devices for networks. It is a device that filters all traffic between a protected or "inside" network and a less trustworthy or "outside" network. Write a report that explores the following questions. 1. Explain the goals that a firewall has, where one goal should not overlap with another. 2. Suppose you want to visit a controversial website (for example, a political activist site) and you (1) don't want to reveal your IP address to the website, (2) don't want your local ISP (which may be your home or office ISP) to know that you are visiting the site, and (3) don't want your local ISP to see the data you are exchanging with the site. Discuss how to achieve these anonymity and privacy requirements with a proxy.
