Interpretation of results
The clear winners of our tests are Online Armor Personal Firewall 2.1.0.19 Free and Outpost Firewall Pro 2008 6.0.2162.205.402.266. Both products reached absolute scores even on their default settings. Congratulations!
Another important result of our tests is firewall scoring against FPR. FPR stands for Fake Protection Revealer. This leak-test was implemented to reveal cheating on leak-tests. FPR does nothing but unhooks user mode hooks and thus bypasses protection that relies on this kind of hooks. Our article Design of ideal personal firewall clearly says that user mode hooks can not be used for security critical features. Following firewalls uses user mode hooks improperly and sometimes only to bypass some leak-tests: FortKnox Personal Firewall 2007 2.0.205.0, Privatefirewall 5.0.8.11, Lavasoft Personal Firewall 2.0.1019.7604 (700), Sunbelt Personal Firewall 4.5.916, Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0.0.125, PC Tools Firewall Plus 3.0.0.36.
Twenty of the tested firewalls were marked with a Very poor or None anti-leak protection. This result is quite worrying because it shows that even today, when the malware programs are very sophisticated, still a lot of vendors simply do not care about the outbound connection control too much.
It should be noted that leak-tests probe only a few features of personal firewalls. If a firewall passes all leak-tests it does not mean it is perfect, bug free or secure in other aspects! However, if a personal firewall fails most of leak-testing techniques, it means that it is insecure. This does not hold for packet filters! To learn more about leak-tests, we recommend you to read our Introduction to Firewall Leak-testing.
