Gauntlet uses a packet filter at the core. That's how transparency works.
Also, in current versions, how dynamic proxies work - by adjusting packet
filter rules.
Firewall-1 uses several proxies (SMTP, HTTP, etc.). They just call them
"security servers".
Now, you're right that Gauntlet is primarily a proxy firewall and
Firewall-1 is primarily a stateful packet filtering firewall. Both products
are hybrids.
