CeeCee Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Test that your firewall doesn't leak: http://www.grc.com/lt/leaktest.htm When you start a test, LeakTest program tries to connect GRC.com Web Server. Your firewall should right a way warn about this outbound connection. Just do not allow that outgoing connection and LeakTest is successfully finished. You should always have a decent firewall, that warns about outbound connections too. Let say you i.e. got a virus on your system, that takes connection to hackers server. You don't wanna that to happen. Path Copy TeraCopy Unlocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted July 21, 2007 Moderators Share Posted July 21, 2007 Thanks for the link CeeCee, although I'm a 100% fail without even trying it, (windows firewall), I'v installed it in the event that I may at sometime change to a 2way firewall. I had a version of this which I forgot about when reinstalling OS recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunerz Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Not being rude or anything bad but that type of leaktest is really old, there are better leaktests scattered around the net. Just check on Matousec's firewall test results and check the leaktests used and try them by yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeeCee Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 It's maybe old, but it atleast shows if your 3rd party firewall is working correctly (warns about and blocks outgoing connections). Path Copy TeraCopy Unlocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
