PCFlank's Leaktest uses a special technique called OLE automation of application control to check how your firewall handles the situation where one program attempts to manage the behavior of another program, which your firewall has been set to trust.

After the test is completed, the PCFlank's Leaktest will display a full description. Your firewall is given either a pass or a flunk.
If your firewall passes the test you will see a message to that effect along with an icon depicting a closed tap.
If your firewall fails the test you will see a message that it failed along with the tap icon showing water dripping from its tip,
meaning your firewall is leaky and you should take additional measures to secure your computer. Additionally, you will be provided with a web link to the text you typed in during the test, which proves the text sneaked by your firewall and reached PC Flank's server.
