The Analogy
Your Router Is Literally Your Property’s Protection From The Outside World.

It is where the outside Internet is stopped, vetted, and then “let in” as per programming policies… just like a guard with an approved “guest list.”

The Router Protects Your Network

With most routers, your inbound traffic is always “screened” to determine whether they are allowed to be let in, and to some extent—depending on how sophisticated your router is—they are also “screened” to verify their level of threat or risk to your property.
