COMODO Firewall or Privatefirewall for extra security mechanisms instead of a simple network firewall (i.e. HIPS, behavior blocking module in both applications - COMODO Firewall, specifically, also has a virtualization/restriction sandbox).

If you want a simple network firewall, I recommend BiniSoft Windows Firewall Control or Glasswire.

All the above software are free. The last one (Glasswire) also has a paid version, with a few extra features. (between BiniSoft Windows Firewall Control and Glasswire, I'd choose BiniSoft Windows Firewall Control)

thank you guys for the suggestions ... I think I'm gonna give Binisoft windows firewall control a run .. i tried comodo ~3-4 years ago and had a bad experience with it performance-wise .. maybe if I didn't like Binisoft I'll give privetfirewall a try.
again, thanks :)

As long as you want a network firewall without extra security features, BiniSoft WFC should suffice.
It is pretty as an extension to default Windowa Firewall, allowing you to control it through alerts and some extra functions. :p
Also, since BS WFC is based on default Windows Firewall, it should be extremely light in terms of performance and resources used.

Actually its matter of complexity you want, sometimes 3rd part firewall are pack of variety features which tends to maintain more time/effort meanwhile those tiny tool design for enhancement with Windows Firewall are lesser complication but the protection does not sacrifice.
