I have you tried this site?

https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

Yes, i know the site and the leak test. As far as i know all firewalls fail the GRC test except ZoneAlarm which is, however, a real pain in the neck and not just inconvenient to use.

Where did mine fail?

Those are the port scans. How about the Leak Test? Different story probably.

The one vulnerability I often find on systems where a good firewall is installed and configured is the WAN ping response in the router. A lot of manufacturers tend to have this set to respond by default. preventing this responce goes a long way to improving security

What about the ping test on www.h-online.com/security ? Under toolkits.

I trust my router firewall.

That test doesn't see a device at my address

Ok.

To Bigcitycat: Trust is good but checking is better

Sure! I configured it. It's wpa2 with stealth ports. I have Norton internet security too. I'm just saying the best firewall is a properly configured router. At least for incoming anyway.
