+DigitalOcean Bastion Host Setup 
+
+## **What is a Bastion Host?**
+
+A bastion host is a special-purpose computer on a network specifically designed and configured to wiHomethstand attacks. There are two common network configurations that include bastion hosts and their placement.
+
+The first requires two firewalls, with bastion hosts sitting between the first "outside world" firewall, and an inside firewall, in a DMZ. Often, smaller networks do not have multiple firewalls, so if only one firewall exists in a network, bastion hosts are commonly placed outside the firewall.
