The GlassWire firewall program has an incredibly simple user interface that organizes all of its functions very well. The first tab at the top of the program is called Graph , which lets you see a real time view of apps using the network and the type of traffic they're using, as far back as one month. This is also where you go to see when any specific program first connected to the network.
In the Firewall tab is a list of actively running programs, and you can see exactly which hosts each program has an established connection with. If you want to block that program, just click the icon to the left, and it'll instantly no longer have access to the web. Usage details how much data each app has used today, this week, or over the whole month, both incoming and outgoing traffic.
The Network tab isn't supported in this version of GlassWire but if you were to buy the program, you'd be able to see the devices detected on your network and receive alerts when new ones join. The Alerts section is a hub for all the alerts GlassWire collects, such as when a program was first identified as using the network and what host it connected to. In GlassWire's menu is an option to go incognito, which will prevent the program from logging all traffic until you turn it back on.
There's also a snooze option to disable all notifications for 24 hours. The download link above is for GlassWire v1 because it includes features that were later available only in the paid version of the program.

PeerBlock is different from most firewall programs because instead of blocking programs, it blocks whole lists of IP addresses under certain category types.
It works by loading a list of IP addresses that the program will use to block your access to—both outgoing and incoming connections.
This means any of the listed addresses won't have access to your computer in the same way you won't have access to their network. For example, you can load a list of pre-made locations to block IP addresses that have been labeled as P2P, business ISPs , educational, ads, or spyware.
You can even block entire countries and organizations. You can make your own list of addresses to block or use several free ones from I-BlockList. Several are also available during installation. Lists you add to PeerBlock can be updated regularly and automatically without any intervention. There are three profiles in Privatefirewall, allowing for easy switching between unique settings and firewall rules.
The list of applications that are allowed or blocked is very easy to recognize and alter. You can add new applications to the list and clearly see which are blocked and which are allowed. It's not confusing in the slightest.

This works by simply listing all the running programs and having the option to add it to the list of blocked programs. NetDefender also includes a port scanner so you can quickly see which ports are open on your machine to help realize which of them you may want to close.

It protects your computer from malicious registry changes, pop-up windows, flash banners, and most advertisements.

You can add these manually or browse through a list of running processes to choose one from there.
