I use to use this site a long time ago and just used it now and everything is stealth.

To see that it actually works on my other comp i turned off the firewall and tried it.

the rating changed from stealth to closed and some ports were even open /gasp

So i guess the firewall works like a charm

anyone else use this site www.grc.com

or another site to test firewalls?

The GRC site just probes your pc for open ports. It's a quick and easy method of a basic portscan to determine your firewall state.




The rest of the site, well..... Thats another discussion

I have used it for years and it will find open ports. It always has for me.
