@m8urnett go with hardware. Firewalla makes great stuff that is easy to set up in minutes https://firewalla.com

@jperlow I mean yeah I have plenty of hardware firewalls, but there are plenty of use cases for a good host-based firewall.

@m8urnett @jperlow If you want a standalone Windows firewall, ZoneAlarm is still out there, and it's decent. A newer one I like is GlassWire. If you want something for your home or small business, Linux really is the only good platform. Check out ClearOS for a decent standalone firewall distro.

@sjvn Glasswire is good in some ways, but still not the kind of control you get with a linux firewall. The thing is that the Windows firewall has all those features, there's just no good way to get to them.

@m8urnett Personally, I always use Linux firewalls.
