m: Disable the firewall.
$ m firewall disable
try on your machine

The command "m firewall disable" refers to a command used to disable the firewall functionality on a device or system.

Firewall is a security feature that controls and filters network traffic based on predefined rules and policies. It acts as a barrier between internal and external networks, monitoring and blocking potentially malicious or unauthorized communications.

By executing "m firewall disable," you are instructing the system to turn off or deactivate the firewall. This action allows all network traffic, including potentially harmful or unwanted connections, to bypass the firewall without any filtering or monitoring.

It is important to note that disabling the firewall can expose your system or network to security risks. Firewalls play a crucial role in protecting against threats, so disabling it should only be done with caution and in specific situations where it is necessary, such as troubleshooting or testing purposes. Otherwise, it is generally recommended to keep the firewall enabled for ongoing security protection.
