well you're after a gui, not a fierwall. any "firewall" tool is just going to be a wrapper for netfilter, which is the firewall functionality already in your system. free? this is linux... wonder if there is a $$$ one at all... try firestarter if you're not happy with the system-config-security toll you already have running.

firestarter is a good choice.
seems to be fairly easy to use without having to memorise convoluted iptables syntax
