Default Firewall

Looking in advanced options I get a message saying that I am in leaf mode and NOT behind a firewall. Isn't this dangerous. How can I change the settings?

Do you have a firewall and if you do is it switched on?

It usually simply means that LW has an exception in the firewall so it can pass through. It is best to see that message rather than any other.
