    Well it was OutBound Only and this year they introduced InBound and I assume they still have to use Windows Firewall API like other software firewalls. You can read but they don't actually say: https://www.glasswire.com/best-firewall-software/

    OK I see, a bit weird because the Windows Firewall has always managed both inbound and outbound access, but I guess you can now configure it. But it's still not a standalone firewall. In other words, if Windows Firewall gets bypassed, I assume you're still toast.

    I actually don't like this version way to many Blocked and pop-ups when Ask To Connect is Enabled I might go back a version... https://forum.glasswire.com/t/v3-7-880-blocking-tons-by-itself/21026

    As an aside Rasheed, I've been an avid fan of your inquisitive and infallible logic. Perhaps at this point Wilders should consider sending you a monthly check in the mail. Just kidding. Seriously though, you're a stalwart asset to the Wilders community and appreciate your contributed postings accordingly.
    Please keep that torch burning.

    Yes, i saw this thread yesterday, couldn't agree anymore, waiting for a next version, why they mix applications with no network ?, why not separate them ?

    Well, I wouldn't say my logic is always infallible LOL, but thanks. But about GlassWire, it is indeed a front-end for the Windows Firewall (similar to Windows Firewall Control), but it would be nice if it added basic protection against malware trying to evade the firewall.
