Look, another one using the Windows Filtering Platform.
VIPRE Internet Security WFP Firewall ALPHA
We have updated to a new type of firewall driver to incorporate new features and functionality. Besides adding IPv6support, there are some added bonuses. New WFP driver will not require a reboot whenperformingupgrades. We will also be able to identify individual services that are hosted by svchost (in other words, you can create more granular rules), as well as Windows 8 ModernUI applications based rules. We decided to put these drivers in the current version (VIPRE Internet Security 2014) so you are not learning new interaction patterns while testing. For those who currently use the firewall heavily, we prefer that you try this Alpha to help uncover any environmental issues or bugs that we didn’t find while developing and testing.
