I am wondering about whether there will be an October 2005 edition of firewall leak testing results from gkweb (http://www.firewallleaktester.com)?

Does anyone know?

I think gkweb will do it yearly... but maybe there could be "more pressures" as firewall makers responded to his tests like college students (just kidding). ;D

Let's hope for it. :D

Hello,

thanks you for your interest in my website :)

I have no deadline to do the tests, I just do them when I have the time, and lately I did not have any unfortunately. Moreover, the goal I had was partially reached, since many personal firewalls now include the leaktests in their firewall developpement (Outpost, next KAH version, etc...). This is this "awarness" I aimed, and I am satisfied if it is accomplished, even if my tests do not bring me only friendlyness.
Anyway, I will still update the website, but I just don't know when, simply be sure that it will be.

Regards,

gkweb.

I'd like to offer my sincere thanks to gkweb for all the valuable work he's done with all the tests.

I've used them many times and found them extremely useful.

I hope you do manage to find some time to do some more.

Thanks,

I have been closely following up various discussions on these "leak tests" -both here and elsewhere and would like to thank gkweb for the great job he has been doing in bringing more awareness to FW developers as also among the users.

Pl do keep it up and don't worry about the brickbats.
