What type of firewall do you use? Why do you use that? You think it is the best? Read the rest..My friend showed me this site where the firewalls (for Windows) were tested. Read the teaser below or simply jump by clicking on More. Highly recommended!
We present more tests than any other leak-testing website. We have tested 21 personal firewalls from our list against 26 leak-tests. For this purpose, we have also implemented our own leak-tests. Our leak-tests are called Coat, Fake Protection Revealer (FPR) and Runner. They are downloadable from the download page of the Windows Personal Firewall Analysis project and their source code is included. With this arsenal neither of the tested products were able to gain 100% score. Later, we have tested even more products and retested new versions of already tested products.
Each firewall was tested twice against 26 leak tests - once with its default, out-of-the-box settings, and once with its highest security settings. Each firewall was then awarded an overall score derived from its pass/fail result against each test. The higher the score, the better the firewall performed against the range of leak tests. For every test the firewall passed on its default settings it gained 125 points. For those tests that the firewall failed on its default settings but passed on its highest security settings it gained 100 points. The number of tests per firewall settings is 77. Thus the maximum score is 77 * 125 = 9625 points.
