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.

    Why? Windows firewall is pretty powerful. Why replace it, and what benefits to does this have?

  • @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. Commented Mar 25, 2014 at 1:16
