    Very nice software :D.

    I use it to record or take pictures really quicky. The nice thing is it automatically uploads the video/image to a service and puts the link in the clipboard to easily paste. It runs at startup and it uses quiete a lot of mem for what it does but it does not slow me down.

    I tried it with the firewall set to 'Train with safe mode' and Defense + set to 'Clean PC mode' and it failed... o_O

    Did u allow the leaktester program to run a leaktest, then block the outbound connection? Or did u block the leaktester program from running altogether?

    You cannot allow it. The leak test tells you.

    Sorry I'm not sure what u meant. Did u mean u prevented the tester from running, or did u prevent it's outbound connection only?

    Just download it yourself.If you allow it then that defeats the purpose. The test tells you to block then run it again to see if your firewall can still be penetrated.

    Yes, I ran the test and got this window (pic). Well, I've asked you twice, but both times you seem to have avoided answering specifically what you had blocked.

    I'm just curious why you said "after that the program wouldn't open" and "file access was not allowed".

    Ahhh, third time now :'(
    Well it's getting unnecessarily OT, so I'll stop asking already. Maybe Vettetech stopped leaktester from running altogether (wrong!), instead of letting it run then block it's outbound connection (like what Coolio10 did with Comodo in the movie).

    That is just one of the many fine examples of why off topic discussions can derail a thread.

    If this discussion thread is to continue it is to do so with the thread title as the topic Please, not with the continual off topic posts by those wishing to put their 2 cents worth in about another firewall product.

    Thanks,
    Bubba
