@henrypp
Using the app for a week or something now. Miles lighter than some of the competitors and pretty solid. Had it freeze on me once so please tell me how to log stuff so i can give you info to fix it.
Also saw that you added signature checking so hopefully you will give us an auto allow signed software setting in the near future. My biggest issue is the gui image though which looks so pixelated that i had to hide it from taskbar to be able to continue using the application without getting crazy. Please use a high definition fire image if possible.
Btw sometimes notifications don't stay for 10 seconds and just close instantly. Any idea why that is happening?

Thanks.

My biggest issue is the gui image though which looks so pixelated that i had to hide it from taskbar to be able to continue using the application without getting crazy. Please use a high definition fire image if possible.

Now using small icon because of i am cannot find the relevant, classic, icon in high-resolution.
All i find in internet is BS~ and i cannot draw logo because of i do not know how.
If someone can suggest logo, in style using now and with high-resolution, you are welcome.

Had it freeze on me once so please tell me how to log stuff so i can give you info to fix it.

This is internal imperfection, but i am think it can be improved this inconvenience in near releases.

Bug, i am correct that before releases final build.

Here is a high resolution image with free to commercial usage as long as you give them credit. Edited it to remove the bottom crap they have that would not fit your logo.

Can we set outbound and inbound rules for applications with this firewall?

it's because the image is cached. If you clear cache it will be ok.

Can we set outbound and inbound rules for applications with this firewall?

Yes.

Need icon cache refresh.

Can we set outbound and inbound rules for applications with this firewall?

Yes, create required rule, and "<application right-click>->Settings->Check created rule..."

 

[Sunshine-boy]

Yes.

So it's better than similar tools like glass wire:notworthy: because of Glasswire cant.

 

[Deletedmessiah]

Should I use the beta version or stick with stable one.

I haven't tried the pro glasswire and never will because that thing cost half a leg. Try it and see yourself because it only takes 10 seconds to get it running.

Beta.

Now I cant try it because of Eset but later I will.

Doesn't ESET have really advanced firewall? You may not need to seek for other firewalls until ESET license runs out.

 

[Sunshine-boy]

It has the best firewall among Avs
I don't search for the firewall I just wanted to know how it works

That or Symantec's according to Umbra.
Simplewall's been working really well for me. I don't know much about firewalls but I do prefer it over WFC and Tinywall.
