Shields Up!
If you haven't visited Shields Up! already then you really should. This is a fantastic site with tips on how to make your connection as secure as possible, and also tests you network, to show how vulnerable or stealthy it is.

A great test for determinining whether your firewall really is doing its job!

Hope you guys enjoy the site.

Here it is > https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

Yes, I've used Shields Up before and it's one of the better security tip sites.

Have been using Shields Up for quite a while now, along with checking every week with my AV program, also run The Shields Up tests, every one of them. I have Norton Firewall and Antivirus and have always gotten a clean bill of health, no problems, everything stealthed.

Using https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 means most people won't get the annoying popup message about the site having an improper name on it's Security Cert.
