Common symptoms of nasal polyps in dogs include noisy breathing, sneezing and reverse sneezing, nasal discharge, stuffy nose, sneezing and nose bleeds affecting only one nostril.

Proxy firewall. An early type of firewall device, a proxy firewall serves as the gateway from one network to another for a specific application. Proxy servers can provide additional functionality such as content caching and security by preventing direct connections from outside the network.
Homes, for example, may have a firewall between the garage and the rest of the house to prevent garage fires from threatening other rooms. With the rapid popularization of the internet, the term firewall is more commonly used in computer networking. Like the firewalls used in homes and buildings, computer firewalls act as a barrier between computers on a network. For companies with a computer network or for individuals with a permanent connection to the internet (such as through DSL or cable), a firewall is critical.
