Is there a firewall with F-Secure Safe ? most reviews vs other internet security products indicate No but somewhere I have seen reference to F-Secure having firewall.
So, it is not about own F-Secure Firewall at the moment, but built-in system one. Also, there are some tweaks around for better result. For my opinion, Windows Firewall is quite enough for its basic (the most) value of firewall.

Hello,
Sorry for my reply. I am only an F-Secure user (their home solutions).
The current F-Secure SAFE (for Windows) utilizes Windows Firewall. In general, it is possible to try use a third party firewall by user's choice (described there: Using personal firewalls | SAFE | Latest | F-Secure User Guides (f-secure.com) ), but is not recommended as such.

F-Secure SAFE (for Mac) - based on this reference ( What is a firewall | SAFE | Latest | F-Secure User Guides (f-secure.com) ) - also with Firewall. However, I am not sure about its design. In addition, the recent Mac solution with XFENCE technology (a kind of powerful thing).
Also, some general discussions about firewall subject were there:
And quite a lot of requests of "own" Firewall (with a bit unclear set of features / design) there: https://community.f-secure.com/en/categories/Idea_Exchange
Thanks!
Thank you for your response. I will check out if some additional protection is necessary for online banking which is my main concern.
