Firewall Leak Test

[metal_termite]

Test your firewall with the many leak tests @ http://www.firewallleaktester.com/ ... I alway fail the PCAudit test on every firewall I've used.

I'm not very knowledgeable in the field of firewalls, so if someone can give some pointers to configuring firewalls to pass all those tests it would be appreciated. I'm begining to wonder if one has to make an advanced rule set for every running process to fully lockdown their pc as much as possible.

The hands down best out-of-the-box firewall I've tried which passed all those tests but PCAaudit is LooknStop. It's extremely light on resources. However, I cannot for the life of me get it to work with Overnet. So, I'm using Sygate Pro, which fails MOST of those tests, and is a resource hog.

Blah blah blah.

Difficult to pass that test, but possible. If your firewall checks the components that a program loads (like ZoneAlarm Pro when program control is set to high), then it can be stopped.
