Cloud Firewall

Linode’s Cloud Firewall handles network traffic control for your virtual machines. You define custom rulesets to filter inbound and outbound connections, securing your instances at the network layer. It integrates directly with Linode’s infrastructure, letting you manage access policies without deploying external security appliances or complex configurations.

This setup suits teams already running workloads on Linode who need basic network segmentation. The main friction is the lack of a free tier; since it operates on a strict pay-as-you-go model, you incur costs for every firewall instance you deploy, even if traffic volume is minimal.
