# Firewall

Enhance network security with endpoints for creating, activating, deactivating, syncing, updating, and deleting firewalls and firewall rules for your virtual machines.

Enhance network security with endpoints for creating, activating, deactivating, syncing, updating, and deleting firewalls and firewall rules for your virtual machines. This firewall applies rules at the network level, so it will take precedence over the virtual machine's internal firewall. **Access to firewall requires having at least one virtual machine.**
