A manual firewall is configured by a user, and it is usually disabled on a computer.

An automatic firewall is enabled by default and protects a computer by detecting and blocking unauthorized access to programs and data.

A firewall can be configured to allow certain types of traffic and to block other types of traffic.

A firewall can protect a computer by preventing unauthorized users from accessing programs and data on the computer, by detecting and blocking unauthorized access to programs and data, or by allowing authorized users to access programs and data.
