I was going to suggest that, but that's hardware, not software.

Agreed.

I've seen routers as cheap as $20-$40, I would definitely go hardware based.

The best firewall is a combination of a hardware NAT router (to block incoming) and a software firewall (to block outgoing).
For software, I use AtGuard -- still the best 5 years later.
