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.
Version 3.7.880 - (August 27, 2025) GlassWire - Personal Firewall & Network Monitor Added support for monitoring running applications with no network activity in the GlassWire Protect section. Added ability to export network scanner results to a CSV file. Fixed an installer resolution issue on high DPI displays. Fixed a UI distortion issue after resuming from sleep mode. Fixed various UI issues with popups and traffic monitoring graph. Fixed compatibility issues on x64 ARM processors.
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.
@Triple Helix 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.
