Agreed, GlassWire is expensive for the paid version (which only additionally grants you the ability to view logs over a longer period of time, "devices on your network", and network "prompts" instead of "click-to-block"). IMO, GlassWire free is as good as the paid version for single device home-use.
I'll look into WFC, however EIS is still a tempting choice knowing that Emsisoft does eventually fix issues with their software.
Thanks for the information.
