Firewall automatic mode

Thanks Zbynek,
I don't get a prompt to allow or deny Gibson's leak test.
I have a quite long (about 80) Application list of "applications installed on this computer that might need to communicate over the network". Leak test is not in the list.
 The firewall log does show LEAKTEST.EXE as Allow
There are many entries in the "Trusted database log". I am not getting any prompts for these rule creations either.
I must have some setting to turn off prompts, but I don't know where it is!
Perhaps you can enlighten me!
Thanks

Hello,
I am using the firewall's automatic mode. Gibson's outgoing leak test failed to be blocked.
Is this likely because Gibson Research (GRC | LeakTest -- Firewall Leakage Tester  ) would be considered a trusted site?
In other words, what is the criteria used by the automatic mode in allowing or not allowing outgoing connections?
Thanks

I see, if there is "Trusted database log" it means that it is marked as harmless by Identity protection component.

For such test you will have to change settings to Interactive mode.
Thanks
