Hello all,
The company that made this is: SecureMix LLC (est. 04/15/2014); aka Free Firewall Antivirus LLC (est. 10/17/2013); aka Blue Quail Capital, LLC (est. 06/21/2010).
Here is the corporate registration: https://mycpa.cpa.state.tx.us/coa/servlet/cpa.app.coa.CoaGetTp?Pg=tpid&Search_Nm=SecureMix%20&Button=search&Search_ID=32042084726 https://mycpa.cpa.state.tx.us/coa/servlet/cpa.app.coa.CoaGet.... The person opted to use a CPA (EDWARD H. GOWETT) to register their LLC (looks like a nice guy: https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=34375436 https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=34375436). And finally, the man, the myth the legend: ANTON BONDAR.
- mbrownnyc 12y agoAlso affiliated with Manycam LLC. Seems less like NSA, more like marketing guru.
- greenwalls 12y agoMy name is Jon Hundley. Anton is my cofounder. I founded ManyCam also with Anton and it was acquired last year. We need an "About" page on our site. GlassWire is now my only project. https://twitter.com/hundley https://twitter.com/hundley
- unknownBits 12y agoI felt paranoid, installed Glasswire, and got hacked!

- mbrownnyc 12y agoHonestly, sorry about that Jon. I wanted to bring some transparency where there was none, and this seemed reasonable to actually share some concerns (and I don't consider this "doxxing" or whatever that other guy said, more like "googleing over coffee"). I did install your app and it is great! Coming from using the flow tool argus (part of the CALEA collection toolkit), I always thought that analyzing flow/connection data was the next frontier in client/end user security; and sure enough GlassWire does just this! It is true, however, that further transparency would be good. I suppose that just comes with time. To keep it simple, this app being free really just makes me wonder what the catch it. So, what's the catch? :) I use Ghostery and that catch is pretty obvious.
- Nilzor 12y agoWe'll about the catch part, they're pretty open about that on the front page. They intend to implement new features just for paying customers. Over time I'm guessing the business value of the free product will decline while the paid one will rise.
- Kiro 12y agoWhat's up with the doxxing? Has GlassWire done anything wrong?
- unknownBits 12y agoIt is a made up title from a big $$$ company to promote their new app, that's what's wrong in the first place. How can you trust a company that uses a title like this to ultimately get you sign their licence and fetch your private data to make money out of it? This leads to being hacked with your own consent and that's why it is wrong and misleading. Try install the app and read the license to see what they want from you and it all becomes clear...
- greenwalls 12y agoThere is no big company here and we don't even have an office. I currently have no ownership in any other businesses or products. Your graph data is never sent to our servers. We plan to make money via a paid software version with more features, for example the ability to monitor multiple remote servers. I agree that it wouldn't make sense to have a product like ours that collects user data.
- mbrownnyc 12y agoHow is searching Google while I sleepily sip my morning coffee "doxxing?" I don't even own a Guy Fawkes mask.
