Have a look at the rules you have pre-defined or the one you have created .
You may try again if you first uncheck absolutely all rules and confirm with OK .

Try the test in Automatic mode , too.

 

Are you using router?

 

It is important to know the answer to this question as it could be that you are testing your router and not the ESET firewall.

 

My router was the cause of failing at GRC; it was due to 'Respond to Ping Request' being on by default...when turned off it passed the GRC test.
