![]() ![]() Also for those who don’t like hopping through tens of windows before their firewall is configured. Also can monitor, as well as adjust bandwidth usage/allocation for various apps.Ī must-have especially for those who spend their days mostly on the Internet ( who doesn’t?). This free firewall allows multiple profiles for difference situations. Then there’s a network monitor which monitors your WiFi and connection from other computers. It also stores “alert” information so you can always go back and check whatever made Glasswire suspicious. If something seems fishy, feel free to close it. ( Yeah I like shiny things!) It shows a list of programs and the exact hosts they’re connected to. The interface is extremely easy to use.Īn advanced, graphic-rich interface is what attracted me to Glasswire first. Its program activity tracker would let you see which app modifies what on your system. Has a connection monitor as well which helps identify unwanted outgoing connections. You can actually customize each of the four security layers manually.Īlso offers an in-built anti-leak module to prevent unwanted traffic from getting out. The best feature about OutPost is its in-built file and folder locker! Or you may fall in love with its multi-layered security protocols. Auto-installs Search-engine unless disabled during installation.Easy Blocking/Unblocking internet access.I would be very interested in that since my security software is Emsisoft AM and it only filters based on IP blacklist and I use IE.Features a Browser-cleanup feature as well as game-mode for better performance of both. I suspect the proxy will also allow them to add some nice features later like true web filtering for malicious activity that will probably be in their paid version. And I did check my Trusted Root store to make sure they didn't add a cert. ![]() They can't unencrypt SSL traffic with it and that is all I care about. The local host proxy concept is also used by a lot of other security software such as Avast. Much better than a lot of third party WIN firewall products many Wilders people use that aren't signed at all. I would say the software is 100% legit since their trusted publisher cert. Hopefully they will add a feature to disable many thereby reducing the memory usage. I suspect all this memory is used for all the fancy animated graphically features it has. But I also saw it uses conhost.exe, so add another 5 Mb to the 80 MB Glasswire is using. I believe they recently fixed the memory leak issue I have seen no evidence of it. What I like most about this product is it logs both domain name and IP address. If you only need to disable these notifications temporarily you can go to the top left GlassWire menu in the main window and choose "snooze alerts". "Enable tray notifications" allows tray alerts to temporarily appear on your computer desktop and alert you to possible problems. ![]() New Application Monitor – Alerts you every time a new application is accessing the Internet or network. There are many different GlassWire alerts. You can then check the alert in detail and see what application is accessing the Internet, review who or what the app is communicating with, then decide to block it via the Firewall or take some other action. These first network access alerts are useful because if you suddenly receive a "new" alert from an application that shouldn't normally access the Internet or from an application you don't remember installing it could be a privacy or security issue. These "new" alerts will become rare over time. When you first install GlassWire you will receive many of these "new" alerts while GlassWire learns what applications on your system normally use the Internet. The "New" or "First Network Access" alert lets you know when a new application is accessing the Internet. To mark all alerts as read you can click the "mark all as read" button at the top right of the window. ![]() You can also see under the alerts tab what alerts have been read or not by their color. If you have an alert with a number on it on the alerts tab you can click the tab one time to make the number go away. At the top left of the window you can sort your alerts by date, apps, and type of alert. Go to the main GlassWire window and then click the "Alerts" tab to view your alerts. GlassWire alerts let you know about important network related events that may affect your computer. According to the following from their documentation manual, all outbound activity is logged in the "Alerts" log.Īlso appears that if "Enable tray notifications" is enabled, these should appear on the desktop. ![]()
