So Glasswire Firewall Free has no firewall. Interesting choice by the marketing team here. Let's see how that works out for them.

Also, $24/year for a firewall. Hoooooo boy.

In compare to 30€ / 1-Year for Portmaster Supporter or other paid software firewalls it is not so bad...

Yeah, but the only thing you get in Portmaster paid is "priority support" and discord access. It's not like they're, you know, NOT giving you the firewall.

Since v.3.2, account creation is no longer required and the number of functions available in the free version seems to have increased, so I installed it for the purpose of communication monitoring.

A firewall also seems to be available, but I think this one can only simply control whether or not the software can communicate.

It seems that you can use glasswire to manage two apps with it and nothing more.

This is worrying about Glasswire:

Worrying privacy implications of "cloud" features, can we disable them?

Excellent sleuthing @april2 you deserve a cookie. 👍

forum.glasswire.com

Note to self: Really need to learn wireshark

Healthy debate of how some companies are so tempted to collect data but when pressured at least try and make up for it. But, what is worrying is - "Can i still trust glasswire even with that option to disable telemetry that it actually disables telemetry?"

It's never been the Free feature of GlassWire.

Previously people could at least limit apps after the connection was made, that was pretty useless anyway, eg blocking malware after it already leaked info, now it is limited to 2 apps.

In my case, it (free version) does what I want it to do, notify me of the first outbound connection and of it's location (Hosts and Country connections). I have it installed on every PC that has F-Secure IS installed on. I find it to be a great combination
