What firewall should I use?

What is the most comprehensive free firewall solution available for Windows? Personal machine, not work machine. I see a ton of choices online, but not sure which one to pick.

ANSWER

For home use I am fine with the built-in and free Windows Firewall (or Windows Defender Firewall) most of the time. It serves its purpose. Does the job. Not overwhelming to use. Customizable enough.

I would also explore the security options that comes with my home router. Many have it included nowadays, and with a little tweaking, should be able to add an extra layer of protection to one’s home network..
