I have both the Windows & Webroot Firewall "ON".
But using Gibson Research "Leaktest" program 
the outbound firewall is penetrated.
 
Is there some setting that I am missing?

Hello alray1989,
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
 
Please see this reply from Webroot Threat Researcher, DanP.
The "LeakTest file is known and considered a trusted process", hence the file being able to connect.
 
Hope this info helps,
