My system runs on Windows 8. I am not satisfied with the performance of Windows firewall. So I need an alternative for it.
It should be light, fast and free. Which is a good one ?
I use TinyWall for my firewall solution. I help managing a Web Hosting company that uses TinyWall for our game servers that run on Windows. It is also recommended by several technology sites.

@NickWilde I decided to add the reason why I recommended it as a comment to my answer instead of adding it into the actual answer. Sorry. And the link has been added. – As we understand more Mar 24 '14 at 7:10

Please don't do this in future. Comments are: A) overlooked, B) may be put though automatic/manual purge periodically. – Lyndon White Mar 24 '14 at 7:24

1Why? Windows firewall is pretty powerful. Why replace it, and what benefits to does this have? – Jacob Mar 25 '14 at 1:07

@Jacob My main issue with Windows 8 and Windows overall is that they tend to hide features within their GUI. TinyWall is minimalistic while getting the job done without hiding features. – As we understand more Mar 25 '14 at 1:16
