I used to use it back in 2019ish? During that time it was very resource intensive to a point where it gave no benefit over what ESET already comes with...besides having a nice GUI deliminating the processes.

Awesome!
Thanks!
I will give it a whirl again (I have the lifetime lic that they offered during their alpha testing phase)
In the past the GUI would suck up CPU resources like Prader-Willi Syndrome patient at a hot dog eating competition.

I have the lifetime license for GlassWire Premium. The main appeal of the software is its statistical connection graphs in a really nice presentation view, the firewall part is a useful add-on.
Why I stopped using it is precisely their collection of the telemetry data, beautifully presented in their own interface of the product. NetLimiter does not transit any data to its servers, but GlassWire collects everything (it seems), and that is quite the useful fingerprint... every piece of software, connection, every route and nuance.
Nowadays there is no privacy, but giving it away on a silver plate is a little excessive 'obedience'. Ultimately, it’s a matter of opinion, as there is no true privacy, nor will there ever be.

apparently glasswire website is giving different hashes for same installer version which could indicate supply chain compromise haha
That's the only thing I could think of, as I noticed the hash difference, and downloaded mine from their website 30 minutes ago.
Not a different submission; I have used you own link.

Out of curiosity, I downloaded the new GlassWire installer and uploaded to to VT.
SHA256 hashes are a match between GlassWire's site and the one calculated by VT:
Only one detection from Skyhigh's reliance on Trellix File Reputation that shares the McAfee Global Threat Intelligence (GTI) network.

The one with 4 detections has a different hash:

The file with that hash and four detections also doesn't indicate that it's signed. VT recognized that the installer I uploaded is verifiably signed.
Seems like some kind of corruption?
