Can't be done. Cygwin runs entirely in user mode; it has no ability to
run applications in kernel mode or to act as a windoze device/filter driver.
Having said that, you might be able to half bodge together a leaky and
semifunctional one using the ip receive hooks, but it'd be shot through with
holes.
In short: use a windoze firewall.
