Efficient and secure firewall system

Privatefirewall is a comprehensive firewall that monitors your system 24/7. It will protect you from unauthorized access and detect anomalies, without complicating matters with confusing configuration options.

Firewalls can be frightening things to work with if you don't know how to configure them - blocking traffic you need and letting in traffic you definitely don't want. Privatefirewall has a highly intuitive interface, however, which means that almost everyone will be able to use it easily. Beginners will have no problems setting things up, while it will also appeal to advanced users because it has so many configurable options if you want them.

Privatefirewall's main settings are divided into Internet Security, Network Security and trusted and blocked sites. All of these feature security levels that can be customized and completely pre-configured, but if you wish, you can set your own configuration rules made to your liking and tailored to your needs. Privatefirewall also features an applications and processes monitor, port analysis and P2P tracking, etc. in addition to developing detailed reports on monitoring results.

Privatefirewall is an excellent, powerful firewall that will fulfill the needs of all but the most demanding users.

    Great Powerful And Customizable Free Firewall [Updated Review]. I have updated my Firewall ratings to include 3 factors which are Security, Simplicity and Customizability. This I believe will help users find the perfect firewall for them rather than just go by what's most secure.Privatefirewall used to be a paid firewall that just recently became free. It's become a rather secure firewall that's pretty customizable. It not only works like a normal Firewall but also allows you to set it in training mode for a certain period of time.The downside to Privatefirewall is it's not as simple to use as there is no permanent training mode and it's got a good number of pop-ups when not in training mode. Overall if you want a Firewall that's powerful and customizable plus is more resource friendly than Comodo Internet Security then give Privatefirewall a try. Just be ready for the pop-ups and know there is no permanent training mode. Pros: Very SecureCustomizableResource Friendly Cons: A Lot Of Pop-upsNo Permanent Training Mode Available

With an 88% score it is the 5th best free firewall and the only one that doesn't conflict with Windows 7 x64.If you use Vista or XP you have a better choice such as Comodo Internet Security, Outpost Free, PC Tools Firewall Pro and Online Armor Free.
