Firewallleaktester.com shutdown notice:

-{ Quote: "Welcome,

http://www.firewallleaktester.com will not be available for a few months from now primarily due to the money it costs me each month (more than 40Euro).

Also, one of the first purposes of firewallleaktester was to make people aware that software firewalls could be bypassed by many ways, point well taken nowadays by both the end users and the vendors themselves. Current security suites are more secure than before, and are able to detect and block the stealthiest malware out there.

I am keeping the domain name though, as firewallleaktester may come back later, probably about security globally and not just about software firewalls.

Time will tell.

Best Regards,
Guillaume Kaddouch." }-

Lack of donations resulted in closing.
To be clear: people took advantage of the board, regrettably (but sad reality: common behavior) refused to support the same board they took adavantage of. :thumbd:

I say good riddance. Just a waste of time with security vendors stepping over each other to demonstrate a false sense of security.
