Is your firewall working perfectly? Test it here for free
You may be thinking that your computer is safe when it connected to internet because you are using firewall ( third party like mcafee etc.. or like default windows firewall). But may be without your knowledge some of your computer ports might have been opened, so your data can be accessed by hackers out there. To confrim your computer is real protected by firewall, take the following test and this test is called ‘Trustealth’. The big advantage of this test is you can test all your service ports (unlike some free tests where they test only commonly used ports). Follow the procedure below on how to test all your service ports.
1. Click here to go to free firewall test.
2. Go to the End of the page and click ‘proceed’ button ( on this page it displays your ip address info)
3. Now select ‘All Service ports’ ( and also you can test for ‘File sharing’ , ‘common ports’, ‘messenger spam’ etc…)
4. Now it takes some time to test all your service ports and displays your 1024 ports in a grid.
5. if your firewall is working perfectly, it displays the following message -
‘Your system has achieved a perfect "TruStealth" rating. Not a single packet — solicited or otherwise — was received from your system as a result of our security probing tests. Your system ignored and refused to reply to repeated Pings (ICMP Echo Requests). From the standpoint of the passing probes of any hacker, this machine does not exist on the Internet. Some questionable personal security systems expose their users by attempting to "counter-probe the prober", thus revealing themselves. But your system wisely remained silent in every way. Very nice’
or
if there some loop holes in your firewall settings, it displays all that information.
