Windows host based firewall tester

So, after hearing about Kerio being discontinued I started poking
around and someone posted a like to this site. Has anyone used this
site? Some of this seems kinda sketchy to me, especially the testing
methods. I am probably going to go setup some VM machines sometime and
test out this software. I would really like to hear about people's
experiences about this site, if any.

It seems like he only do outbound testing? Not very helpful and quite limited
then. Outbound protection is important, but not that important. It's a second
line of defence. I prefer to stop threats before they get inside. A test of
inbound protection would be more useful, IMHO.

If you ever go temporarily insane, don't shoot somebody, like a lot of
people do. Instead, try to get some weeding done, because
you'd really be surprised.
