TinyWall is very different compared to the others on this list. So, if you are looking for a firewall that does the job while looking good and giving you the options to create custom firewall rules then Glasswire is for you.Īs the name suggests, TinyWall is a free, small, and lightweight application that lets you easily manage the incoming and outgoing connections. The graphs are not just beautiful but they serve as a time machine where you can see past network activity like when a certain application or process first connected to the internet, security alerts, host information etc.įeatures of Glasswire include but not limited to full-fledged bandwidth monitoring, privacy protection, evil twin detection that alerts you when a WiFi network is using the same name as you or when your network suddenly losses its password, application blocker, multiple remote server monitoring, lockdown mode to restrict all firewall activities, ask only mode that blocks all the applications from accessing the internet unless you give the permission, etc.Īdditionally, you can also create custom firewall profiles so that you can easily switch between different firewall rulesets. What I like most about Glasswire is how easy and intuitive to use it and the beautiful graphs it shows relating to the network activity.

Unlike other software in this list, Glasswire’s user interface is pretty modern and fluid. Glasswire is another popular free network monitor and firewall application for Windows 10. If you are an advanced user and know what you are doing, you can create custom rulesets to manage the firewall activities however you want.

Moreover, out of the box, Comodo Firewall monitors and blocks certain processes and show a warning or permission window whenever they are trying to access another process or making system changes.Ĭomodo Firewall also has other features like HIPS (Host Intrusion Prevention System) protection, application sandboxing, predefined and custom firewall and HIPS rulesets, website filtering, dynamic process analyzing and scanning, kill switch to stop or block problematic processes, etc.Įven with all these features, Comodo is pretty easy to use, even for beginners. One of the reasons I really like Comodo Firewall is that it makes it easy to allow or block an application from accessing the internet. Comodo FirewallĬomodo Firewall is one of my favorite and generally my go to Windows 10 firewall thanks to its ease of use and included features.
