Run shields up from here and see the results… These are probes into the system as opposed to one where you let the programme run. Select all ports

Just re-run the test with AIS

I guess the Comodo test is to show the effectiveness of HIPS and Autosandbox (to trick users into believing the “firewall” was more effective than others), because when i disabled HIPS on my other pc , AIS and Comodo Firewall scored the same ::slight_smile: i.e. 200/340
Ok, I ran the shield up on all ports and it came back with the same result as yours ;D (btw im using avast premier now , as i had to do system restore… because update got cut and i couldn’t add or change wallpaper (blacked out screen), also AIS went out as system restore destroyed it).
the leak test here: https://www.grc.com/lt/leaktest.htm came back negative (i got penetrated), and this was with default settings (i switched between home and public connection)

note that when you run this test, it is the first firewall you are testing meaning if you are behind a ISP box or router with firewall then that is the one you are testing

if you scroll down the page after you have run the test, it is explained below …
