The best Firewall out there that is free?

Question

Can anyone tell me which is the best FREE firewall out there. I'm currently using zone alarm. I'd like to get one that is totally free.

Answer 1

Comodo is free for both home and commercial use. It also integrates nicely with their anti-virus which is also free for home and commercial use.

Zone Alarm is free for home (not commercial) use as well.

Both are easy to use, both have the ability to "learn" your needs and both show and manage BOTH inbound and outbound traffic.

Handling both inbound and outbound is essential for a PC firewall. If you're looking to make a firewall out of an old PC with two network cards, then IPCop is highly rated, Shorewall is well known, and there are dozens of home grown solutions available.

Answer 2

OBVIOUSLY COMODO FIREWALL IS THE BEST!

Well....the best free firewall is to unplug your network cable.

I have always used Zone Alarm for basic firewall stuff but also sit my PC behind a NAT router which also offers protection
