If you want something easy to setup, it will not be free, but will cost you
a bit. Most "hard to setup" FW are 'free' i.e. they either come with
operating system or are free add ons (like using Linux or OpenBSD. Try to
look for an appliance (otherwise known as HW firewall) - a little box which
is designed to just do firewalling for you, they tend to be more secure,
cheaper (than say ISA on windows box) and easier to setup than FW running on
top of a well known OS.

You may also consider picking a good book, since any firewall can live up to
its full potential only if the sysadmin knows what he/she is doing.

  Hardware or software?

  If hardware, other server running a diskless OpenBSD.
  If software, which OS?
