    @ 3x H - you're welcome.

    Noticed the driver, gwdrv.sys, is now signed by MS Windows Compatibility Publisher.

    Previously signed by Glasswire with a 2015 time stamp.

    Everything else what was signed Glasswire, now Domotz.

    As Spock would say, "Fascinating."

    I went looking and I found this, created on my system when I got the update, a couple of days ago. Interesting, maybe?

    Congratulations. ;)

    That's the driver referred to in my #578. It's always been there in \System32\drivers. I don't find it searching my \DriverStore\FileRepository. The path is truncated in your screenie, mine having 745 GUID-named folders in there and your folder would be unique to your system, no doubt, anyway. 745!

    SpyShelter's Events logged this:
    aCapture003885.jpg
    I don't know why the signer didn't render for the older version. Not worth the time or bandwidth to query SpyShelter support. On another Win10 Pro system still running .678, it does show Glasswire as the signer in the driver's file Properties.

    Cheers.

    I too, have SpyShelter's Events logged for September 26, the day Glasswire updated on my laptop, but is way different to yours. Fascinating.

    Thanks, Triple Helix.

    Looks like the still unanswered posts about ARM support on their forum (mine, early October) got answered. Haven't yet nailed down a new laptop I've budgeted for, but now I can consider those equipped with dragon snappers.

    The added new group feature is looooong overdue. The all at once option will likely be the one I use once I update...

    Cheers.

    Thanks!
    The GW score was fun for a while; not going to be missed.
    The new UI will take some getting used to, particularly the Protect layout.
    Still weighing the advantage(s) of separate in and out, block or allow connections for a few of my apps...

    What's the GlassWire Protect firewall feature, and can lifetime license owners use it?

    From their forum:

    Premium-Only Firewall Access: The GlassWire Protect firewall is now exclusive to our Premium plan, which continues to offer full firewall control. Free users can still monitor activity and upgrade anytime for advanced protection.​

    Got a lifetime license myself. Going on now for about ten years... Time flies!

    In addition to the all firewall and monitoring enhancements and features, there is a "toolbox of network security checks" as briefly described under the /features/ section of the link cited by Triple Helix in #593 above. This is so inclusive I can't imagine running a Windows box without GlassWire.

    (As this system is sans Wi-Fi, might as well keep it off.)

    The screenshot shows "Premium" on the top left. For lifetime licenses, GlassWire displays the edition, Pro or Elite. Has it changed recently, and is it "Premium" for all paid licenses now?

    Well if yours says Premium you are on the new system and not the Lifetime Legacy. Mine says Elite and I have another Elite and a Pro keycodes.

    I got it. The GUI screenshot you posted in your previous post is from the official website. I thought it was from your system. I appreciate your help. Thank you.

    That's indeed a bit weird, I mean wasn't this feature always present? I'm guessing the new firewall feature might work independent from the Windows Firewall, can anyone confirm?
