What do you want to test: incoming traffic or outgoing traffic? And what firewall are you using?

There are a few ways to test if a firewall is working:

1. You can use a packet sniffer to see if the firewall is blocking certain types of traffic.

2. You can use a port scanner to see if the firewall is blocking certain ports.

3. You can try to connect to a server on the other side of the firewall and see if the connection is successful.
