   You can post your graph to Facebook or Twitter if you want to (completely optional). Check out the hashtag #GlassWire on Twitter. Some people have already posted some graphs. We have no relationship with Facebook or Twitter.

   GlassWire isn't a replacement for an antivirus. I think the only way to see all network activity is by tapping into the wire itself. I made GlassWire to give myself an easy way to see what my computer was doing in the background but

   Thanks! I also felt like I couldn't easily see what was happening in the background and it made me feel nervous.

   We're working on something like that.

   How would the plugin work?

   Good idea! How could we plugin with your ISP exactly? Any ideas that would work for a majority of people? We're still investigating that idea.

   I thought people would want to remove the desktop notifications, but not the numbers on the icon. We may need to rethink the settings.

    Yes a system can lie about its network usage. I answered a similar question below, check this link https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8223296 GlassWire shouldn't be your only security tool.

    I never thought of that. We'll see how we can move the notifications so they are near the GlassWire icon.

    Thanks for your feedback. We'll try to add more transparency. The calling home is for software updates and it shows up on the graph, and GlassWire can even block itself.

    Instead of monitoring locking/unlocking we monitored idle time instead. You'll notice the graph turns shaded when your computer is idle so if you see some strange spikes you can go back in time on the graph and investigate.

    You are correct, it's not perfect but we're always trying to improve the graph so it's a better representation.

    GlassWire 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and block GlassWire if you want, but then you won't be alerted to new versions and your malicious hosts will become outdated.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

    Thank you. We will test with that theme, thanks for the details. My CPU is nowhere close to 2% when GlassWire is minimized and I have an older PC with 8.1. Please send details if you have time via email or our forum. GlassWire checks fo

    The only true way to fully monitor the network is by tapping the actual wire. We started off wanting to make a malware tool but we found it was not reasonable so we tried to add more network monitoring and privacy features. The GlassWire

    Thank you! The team spent a lot of time on the graph and we wanted to show that to the user before they downloaded.

    ejp, you can manually do a virus scan of an exe on first network activity. Click the desktop alert then mouse over the file name and click "virus scan". This uses your own antiviruse software, not ours. Therefore if your antivi

    I use Speedtest quite a bit and I think they estimate your speed via a system that doesn't require you actually hit their transfer rate. I could be wrong though... we'll look closer and see what's going on there. I agree dra

    I use Little Snitch on my Mac. I found myself just "allow"ing everything all the time anyway. I think most users just get used to pressing "OK" and stop even paying attention to what they are agreeing to. I know I get

    You can use your VPN with GlassWire and it works OK but we haven't tested in detail. I used GlassWire with my own VPN and I didn't see any obvious problems so far.
