Linode Cloud Firewall is a free network security service that allows users to create, configure, and add stateful network-based firewalls to Linode services. It provides scalable protection by filtering traffic at the network layer, enabling fine-grained control over who can access Linodes based on trusted IP addresses, ports, and protocols. Cloud Firewall operates independently of the services it's attached to, allowing a single firewall to be applied to multiple Linode resources.
