{QUOTE-> Result : 9 leaktests are blocked on Vista, 3 weren't tested due to not being compatible or because WinpCap not being installed (WinPcap 4.0 or newer is required on Vista x64), and 12 leaktests are still working despite new Vista's security features. That means that 37,5% of the leaktests are blocked either from running properly, or from making a successfull outbound leak. If you look differently the same numbers, we can say also that 50% of the leaktests (12) only are sucessfull on Vista, so that half are blocked (12 on 24). Pick the statistic you prefer. <-QUOTE}

Was that with default builtin firewall settings or did you tweak the setting at all?

Default settings:
{QUOTE-> The tests requiring Internet Explorer are done with IE 32bits, as it is the version that all Vista editions have by default, even on Vista x64. The built-in firewall is left to default settings, blocking only inbound.
