A Bastion Host is a special purpose computer designed and configured to withstand or persist attacks. Now what does it do?? Well, The computer generally hosts a single application like a proxy server and all other services are removed or limited to reduce the threat to the computer. It is hardened primarily due to its location and purpose, which is outside the firewall or in the DMZ and involves untrusted networks.
Bastion host configurations are generally used along with the Packet filtering firewalls to give it more protection and security
