How is this implemented exactly? Does the app phone home? Does it do some sort of RBL check (if so, against which servers)?
Thanks
- greenwalls 12y agoGlassWire checks for software updates and also does an RBL check. You can see it on the graph and block GlassWire if you want, but then you won't be alerted to new versions and your malicious hosts will become outdated. We don't list our malicious host list sources but I guess we could, I'll have to think about it more. We don't get the hosts from our users or access any user data at all. Your graph data is private on your machine, unless you set up our remote monitoring feature and that data also never goes through our servers at all.
- eps 12y agoSorry, I should've been more specific - does your app talk to your servers when it's up for reasons other than checking for updates? If yes, is there a way to switch it all off? I'm sure you can understand why I'm asking. In fact, it'd be ideal if the update checks would have the "remind" option like Bvckup2 has it - https://bvckup2.com/img/r8/screenshot-4-preferences.png https://bvckup2.com/img/r8/screenshot-4-preferences.png
