For those of you looking for a light running packet filter with a good feature set, this may fill the bill. Descriptive page with link to user manual: http://www.softperfect.com/products/firewall/

 

Looks interesting, supports 64bit too, i'll definitely have to try this out on my vista 64. Thanks!

 

The website says its only recently released however when i ran it vista immediately popped up that there was a compatibility issue. I ended up ignoring the warning and it seems to have installed just fine. Its seems fairly easy to setup, you simply select what preset rules you want and away you go. It also has a learning mode to make things real easy. Only uses about 1.5mb on my system however even tho it supports 64bit its not a true 64bit app.

 

Nowhere on there website or manual do I see any mention of it having Stateful Packet Inspection. I think I'll pass!

 

No app control.
