Explanation
The action taken will fulfill the internal resource security concern. It has nothing to do with the secured communication. Firewall is used to protect the network from external attacks by hackers. Firewall prevents direct communication between computers in the network and the external computers, through the Internet. Instead, all communication is done through a proxy server, outside the organization's network, which decides whether or not it is safe to let a file pass through. To achieve the secured communication goal, you will have to configure a virtual private network (VPN) between the two offices.
