Can someone please explain to me the difference between the Medium and Low settings. I know the Low setting is supposed to accept in inbound and outbound traffic.

When I tested the firewall at GRC.com with the Medium and Low settings and my Windows 7 firewall turned off both pass the Shields Up test showing no open ports.

Since the Low setting accepts inbound connection I would of thought there would of been some open ports. Also since Low passed the Shield Up test is there any reason to use the medium setting?

Also I have read the user manaul and it did not answer my question adequately.

Thanks.
