Seeking No HIPS FW that is IPv6-capable

I am seeking a FW, free or non-free, that meets the following criteria:
(a) Is IPv6- capable
(b) Has no HIPS component
(c) Is stand-alone (not part of a suite)
(d) Is NOT L'n'S or Ft Knox or Comodo

>> Does anyone know of such a FW?

P.S. I have a sinking feeling that such a FW does not exist.

 

Windows Firewall in Windows 7? LOL

 

I don't think it exists either. What about one where you can disable the HIPS component?

 

@skudo- I should have mentioned -- I'm running Win XP.

@Scoobs- The FW+HIPS combos that I know of all provide for their HIPS-type component to be disabled. But AFAIK, their HIPS component still gets loaded & "dragged along" with the firewall component-- it just doesn't do anything.. Excess baggage. Dead weight.

>>>Does anyone know of a FW+HIPS combination where -- if the HIPS component is disabled -- it TOTALLY doesn't get loaded?

 

I suspected that was your thinking. Is this for Win XP?

 

It's hard point at FW without HIPS but with IPv6...maybe these

and Rising FW?

 

ZA FREE (i think a,b,c,d criteria are there).

I think Ashampoo Firewall Free(IPV6 not sure but maybe)( (xp, 2000) is ok, but as i know, this product is not longer supported

Rules.

 

Does it just install the "free" firewall. Or does it install ZA pro with functions disabled(but still installed)?
For a (almost) 45MB download, if it is just the free firewall, then it is certainly bloated.

I don't have it installed right now, but i download the installer and extract-it, the 44 mo package contains mainly both x64 and x86 support, all the KB x64 and x86 and for xp.

So i think it does not install the Pro features, just linked them on the main interface if you want to upgrade.

I also checked the installer of the pro version 52.7 mo and when extracted is slightly different than the free.

But maybe i'm totally wrong

Rules.

 

Hi Rules,

Thanks for the info.
I know, I should check myself, I will when time.

Hello bellgamin,

A good standalone packet filter is difficult to find for windows. There where a couple of projects some time ago, but they just disappeared, probably lack of interest.

I am curious as to why you filter out the above firewalls?

What about Windows 7 Firewall Control? It supports Xp, has no HIPS, it is not part of a suite and is IPv6 capable.

 

private firewall. but it has HIPS

i recently (yesterday) started using it and starting to like it. I almost get a feeling that no HIPS/firewall is installed (in terms of performance). It feels so light on my system.

Though, I am not sure about its anti-logging capabilities...

 

Hola Stem-sensei,

In answer to your question -- it's just a matter of personal hang-ups.

QUESTION for You: Why do I even need IPv6? Is it here yet? Or just a thing for the distant future? Or what?

 

No problem.

It is here. Just some large ISPs dont want to implement (which holds things up), usual excuse is "we have plenty of IP numbers left".
It will take quite a while for a "wake up".

By the way, have you thought of linux re: IPtables <runs away quickly to hide>

Bill, what happened with you and PrivateFirewall? It conflicting with another app you're using?

(I had issues with PF and Zemana in the past...and perhaps SpyShelter too (but I can't recall for certain) even with HIPS disabled.)

 

Maybe use xp firewall with ipv6 enabled
http://www.localtech.us/ipv6_xp.htm
and something like defencewall firewall which i gather is some sort of application firewall?
Another option maybe is to possibly use avast internet security(regquires xp service pack 2) ,which does give you the opportunity to just install the firewall part.I know you didnt want "all the baggage" that comes along with a suite but avast is more modular than other suite options i guess.
EDIT....
Sorry Bellgamin...I should have checked before posting.Apparently avast firewall doesnt support ipv6

Me & PFW are still holding hands & strolling down Lover's Lane. Thus my *Main Image* remains PFW + an AV.

However, I am a security addict so I like to test different set-ups, especially when interesting apps come into view.

Lately I have become very interested in EXE Radar PRO (ERP) - an exciting new antiexecutable with a bit of behavior analysis built in. If I run ERP, that reduces the need for a HIPS. Ergo, I am setting up a *test image* with ERP + an AV, & I am seeking a stripped down FW to go with that combo.

 

Thank you, Bill, for your reply.
(Keep us apprised of your findings. They are always thought provoking.)

 

I read the link you provided. It's rather too convoluted for my miniscule level of expertise, but it sure gave me some exercise for my slumbering brain cells.

 

Lol..
Rather you than me ,I don't understand a word of it either ,but it looks good

Zone Alarm free I believe meets the requirements..

 

Correct Zone Alarm is the only one left that I know about.
The strange thing about Zone Alarm Free is it runs very light and smooth on some systems, but other systems it runs heavy and bloated.

Might want to give it a try and see.

Thanks.

 

Is there a way to use IP tables on Win-XP without installing a lot of excess stuff? IPv6 is the one problem that will eventually force me away from Kerio 2.1.5.
