## GlassWire Firewall Reviews
  ### 1. The Best Network Monitoring Software

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** S P. | Undergraduate, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2025

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

The best thing about Glasswire is that it is very easy to use and it has more user-friendly interfaces. So we can monitor our network usage by just looking at the "Graph" or "Usage Details" interface. In the free version, we can monitor our data usage in the last 5 minutes, 3 hours, or 24 hours.

**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

Nothing special. Actually, I'm very satisfied with GassWire.

**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

So basically, I use GlassWire to monitor my network usage. I have limited internet connection. So I need to manage my data package for the entire month. By using GlassWire, I can get an overall idea about which apps on my laptop use more data and, according to that, adjust their usage.

  ### 2. A Great Solution to keep your data consumption on track.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Anmol G. | Quality Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2022

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

Ease of use, One touch on & Off of VPN, too many theme option

**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

Too many notifications on the first network activity. Interface can be a bit more intuitive

**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Glasswire is helping me in keeping my data consumption under the data plan limit, thereby saving my money. Helped me channel my data consumption and improved overall efficiency

  ### 3. I love glasswire

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Walter C. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2020

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

There's so much to love about this software. I love how I can easily check what software is connecting to the internet, how much data they are using and how it breaks down between local and external traffic. I can even view the hostnames to which each application is connecting to.

**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

Nothing really. Maybe the constant popups to upgrade to a paid  package on the free version. I didn't have much trouble setting up Glasswire but i feel that i may be missing out on all it's benefits because of lack of some sort of tutorial or on-boarding process in terms of how to use the software.

**Recommendations to others considering GlassWire Firewall:**

A wonderful software especially considering that it's free. Gladly paid for the Elite licence for more features

**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Glasswire to monitor traffic on my PC and Android phone. I also use it to monitor about 10 computers connected on a network at work. It's proven to be a great time saver. Previously I had to check data and network usage on each PC but now thanks to glasswire I do it all on just 1 PC

  ### 4. User friendly firewall with clear GUI.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Paul S. | IT Manager, Publishing, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2020

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

Fast, easy installation, excellent user interface - put simply, it just works!  The user-friendly interface is excellent for both skilled and non-skilled users to learn the state of the desktop internet connections. It keeps us constantly updated with any necessary alerts and goes a long way for peace of mind. Glasswire is much more configurable than those regular standalone firewalls; it lets you blacklist connections specific to your own work environment. GlassWire enables to keep track of our mobile carrier data usage and Wi-Fi Internet activity which is great when our team are working remotely. I would not hesitate to recommend this product to both smaller businesses, teams and personal users.

**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

I am very satisfied with this product and have no dislikes at this time. We haven't needed to contact the support team yet so cannot review that part of the service.

**Recommendations to others considering GlassWire Firewall:**

It's a no-brainer purchase for personal or small team firewall protection but if you are hesitant to buy - you can always trial it and then upgrade to the paid version, it's an excellent protective and diagnostic tool - though it shouls be remembered that this is only one tool in the toolkit necessary for protecting our work environment nowadays. For large scale corporate use you should check alternative offerings for comparison before deciding to purchase this.

**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're using GlassWire to monitor and control program access to the Internet, saving on bandwidth and enhancing desktop security. We can easily filter desktop and mobile web traffic.

  ### 5. GlassWire Firewall

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Carmine A. | IT System Administrator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 29, 2021

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

It is very easy to install and configure.

**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

Some of the alerts are false positives that need to be investigated.

**Recommendations to others considering GlassWire Firewall:**

It is an excellent third-party firewall solution that gives you an extra layer of security so that your workstation is not low-hanging fruit for the bad actors.

**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am enabled to track and block unwanted hosts services trying to connect to my workstation.

  ### 6. A very useful tool with a few caveats.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jacob V. | Service Desk Analyst, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2020

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

The break down of the network activity is one of the best that I've seen from other network activity scanners. Not only does it help you see what programs are pulling from the network but also how much. Being able to turn off and on specific programs is a real help when troubleshooting. Since this is  available for multiple devices and OS's you can keep track of your digital footprint as it were. Whenever anything is behaving questionably there is even the feature to have that program analyzed for any virus or malware definitions.
The most helpful aspect that I have found is being notified whenever a new service starts using the network. If you haven't added any new programs and something starts to connect you know something is up. An upside is that everything is all in one place and easy to get to.

**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

The pay-per-month income setup is not a favorite of mine. As these programs are great for what they can do by keeping you on such a program it will inevitably become a problem for some as it cannot fully take over for an antivirus. If using with another antivirus it would yield some serious protections against intruders into your system. But on the other hand if you could only choose one many would opt for the antivirus protections since this has no real time scanner.

**Recommendations to others considering GlassWire Firewall:**

If you have knowledge of networks and what a more detailed breakdown of your activity then GlassWire is where to look.

**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It did help me see where some hidden programs were causing some unnecessary network draw and remove them. If needing a detailed network outline and consumption and a meta amount of control over the network this is a clear contender for 1st place. It has made network overview much less of a hassle in trying to see what is drawing what.

  ### 7. You control what you want talking to the internet (period)

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chris W. | Chief Executive Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 19, 2020

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

When I first downloaded Glasswire I didn't know what to expect. It was still very young and nothing like it had been developed to my knowledge. However, over the years I have installed it as one of my first applications on my systems.

Glasswire offers so many amazing features. The paid upgrade and the "Ask to Connect" feature, it is a god sent and must have. Being able to see usage on metered connections is grand. The ability to see which devices are connecting to your network instantly is also amazing. It also alerts you to software upgrading, internet outages, and so so much more. 

I would say It is a must for people looking to secure their networks.

**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

The few downsides I would say it does offer is not being able to block programs from connecting to some IP addresses or subscribing to known lists of IPs. When using "Ask to Connect" the user needs to have a deep understanding of what needs a connection and what is unneeded. It's also lacking any kind of features that would allow me to view or monitor what kind of data is being sent in and out.  Overall, these would not stop me from using the software.

**Recommendations to others considering GlassWire Firewall:**

If you want to have the most control of what is talking to what online or in your network. This is it. It has a great free version with many of the features with only a few amazing features gated.

**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The best thing is you can stop threats before they can even get their payloads downloaded. Then you can see right where they are hiding and kill them.

  ### 8. Best network analyzer. Complete and friendly.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Felipe Glauber Lima R. | Assessor de Comunicação das Categorias de Base, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2020

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

GlassWire has one feature I've never seen before: a mini viewer available over my desktop apps. The firewall works great and seamlessly on Windows. The Elite edition allows me monitor unlimited remote clients, which is another unique function. The log of data is one of the biggest ones. It keeps an year of traffic, apps updates and consumption by protocol data. I used to pay for antivirus, but they never permitted me to know when my connection is being used by third-party apps. Now, with GlassWire only, I know and can investigate inappropriate use of my bandwidth by unknown sources. For streamers, it's a key tool. Well, I need to highlight the visuals. GlassWire is beautifully developed and comes with good skins options.

**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

Glasswire doesn't allows me to customize the units for bandwidth measurement. It would be awesome if the user could choose between, MBps, Mbps or, even, kbps. Some kind of integration between GlassWire Mobile and desktop would be cool. Imagine users using smartphone as remote viewer! Incognito mode doesn't explain what it's made for. Doesn't have a GAME MODE. Doesn't have a STREAMER MODE, allowing user to choose specific apps to use network with priority, similiar to a "QoS via software". The app doesn't have an AUTO DARK MODE for night times. It would be great if users can set different skins for different hours of day.

**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

GlassWire replaced antivirus, giving more speed for my PC and a more transparent network analysis.

  ### 9. GlassWire - a great add-on to Windows Firewall

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chris T. | President, Ottawa PC Users' Group, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 14, 2020

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

I think the best feature of GlassWire is the ability to have programs checked at VirusTotal.com before they can access the Internet. Beyond this, GlassWire makes it simple to prevent even non-malicious programs from accessing the Internet. This is great for programs that may leak personal information to the Internet.

**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

There is nothing I dislike about GlassWire. It is a solid, effective product.

**Recommendations to others considering GlassWire Firewall:**

Try it! There is a trial version available and only by using it will you truly understand just how powerful this program is. It is easy to set up and configure. Reporting on network activity is clear and easily understood.

**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Programs on my PC are checked at VirusTotal.com before they are premitted to access the Internet. If I get some new piece of malware on my PC before my chosen anti-malware program detects it, hopefully one of the more than dozens of anti-malware programs at VirusTotal.com will detect it. This is a fantastic capability. I also use GlassWire to block some programs from accessing the Internet when I feel there is no good reason to allow them to.

  ### 10. Glasswire helps me track my home office traffic better!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2020

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

I use glasswire to monitor my homelab, where I try some of the craziest things.  I love Glasswire's ability to dig deep into the past - I can easily discern between new and ongoing trends, and see what is really using my bandwidth over time.  I've been able to easily identify and remove unexpected talkers that I had long thought removed, or block them.  Since I can easily see both incoming and outgoing traffic, I'm able to gain better insight into what is actually going on behind the scenes.

I haven't seen any AV conflicts and that really makes me happy.

**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

I would really like to be able to see (or at least access) glasswire data from a local control console from one of the machines within my network - it's annoying to have to go from machine to machine.  Glasswire also has the potential to introduce conflict with VPNs like NordVPN, as well as some command and control programs such as Tanium or Bigfix - it concerns me that the recommended techniques for bypassing some of those conflicts, such as with VPN, may reduce functionality.

**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I'm able to track down anything from minor undesirable activity up through major talkers on my network, and look at things both in real time as well as extensive historical perspectives.  By reviewing this activity in Glasswire's different activity views, I can determine where to focus my energies significantly more easily than watching things with only OS-native and free analysis tools at my fingertips.  This is a significant benefit for me as one of my side-goals in my home lab is to optimize network activity for the products I'm supporting, so Glasswire helps with that a lot.

  ### 11. Excellent Tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Steve B. | President, Managing Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2020

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

Glasswire gives me real-time information about everything that is going on with my computer. The firewall function is extremely useful and allows greater control over access to my system. Creating the ability to monitor usage graphically allows users the flexibility to discontinue programs that are non-essential. Real-time alerts let me know if I need to take action regarding a connection that might be harmful. All in all Glasswire is an essential part of my ongoing systems usage.

**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

So far I haven't found anything that I dislike about Glasswire It doesn't take up much room on my system and operates smoothly in the background until needed.

**Recommendations to others considering GlassWire Firewall:**

I highly recommend Glasswire for all your system needs.

**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Potentially dangerous internet activity. The alert system has benefitted me greatly. It allows me to ascertain whether or not to continue with a connection or disconnect as a matter of security. It also has shown me programs that I can discontinue to allow better usage of my system memory.

  ### 12. Easiest firewall app I have seen

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jeheen Mahmood Z. | Senior Data Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2020

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

It sounds shallow, but I actually like their UI over the features. I am one of those users who prefer something good to look at. Since my network connection is sketchy and rather slow, I have to check my net speed regularly. Glasswire has a very cute little network speed monitor that has become a  part of my desktop for the last few years.

As for their firewall ability, I can not count the many instances they caught a rough app that wanted network access. I know we can do this using the windows settings. But I really like the dashboard Glasswire provides to monitor and control network access. Anyone who wants an easy UI/UX should go with Glasswire over the default app.

**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

I don't think there is anything that I don't like. Afterall it does what it was supposed to do and do it nicely. One thing I would say they could work on though. The company tend to send a lot of promotional emails. since I am already a paid premium customer, I think they don't have to promote to me :) But it is easy to solve by changing the email preference.

**Recommendations to others considering GlassWire Firewall:**

If you are looking for an intuitive firewall that is easy to use, you should try Glasswire. 

This is a pocket-friendly reliable tool and the company has been in the market for several years. You can depend on them to maintain your data security. In case you have multiple computers like me, I would advise buying bulk licensing as it comes a lot cheaper than individual ones.

And if you are looking for a widget that would sit on your screen and show activities directly, this is the only tool I found that works properly. There are several free/freemium options, but none were easy to use/understand.

**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I can monitor my network speed at all time using the mini window. And I get notified with pop-ups whenever any app tries to access the internet. I mostly use this for my personal desktop and office laptop. Both of them has been used in different networks without any issues.

  ### 13. A Firewall for the Experienced and Novice User

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Travis A. | Critical Care Registered Nurse, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2020

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

I like the customizations that can be implemented on inbound and outgoing data. The ability to be informed about an incoming data connection and choose or deny the connection with a beautiful GUI is excellent.

**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

Not much. Not as complicated as little snitch on Mac. I would probably add more customizations to the Themese for color choices and show inbound outbound on a geomap.

**Recommendations to others considering GlassWire Firewall:**

If you want the network control without all the hassles of Windows Defense Firewall this is the app for you.

**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I've renewed it 3 years straight which says a lot because I hate subscription services but Glasswire is worth it.

  ### 14. GlassWire is must have.

It is a great free tool to use if you want to monitor all sorts of network activities, data consumption and helps you keep an eye on all the data in and out of your device through all the apps.

There is not much do dislike. 

However; maybe a better and fresh UI on the desktop premium version? Maybe some new features as well?

Not many problems. 
In terms of Benefits, I really love the idea of real-time network activity monitoring and the ability to go back in time and see the previous network activities and events.

**Reviewed by:** Stuart P. | Director, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2020

Firewall is now a premium feature - that's a shame.

There is really noting I dislike.  Licensing the product was very simple.

**Recommendations to others considering GlassWire Firewall:**

Give the trial a go.

**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am constantly concerned about DLP, and I know I can go to GlassWire and view bandwidth utilization per application. Also, to be notified at when my system sees initial/new activity is great!

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

I like that Glasswire is always ready to answer my questions about the performance of my network.

I am using IPv6 more for my everyday networking use. Glasswire could be more observant of this important direction in networking.

**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I like the inventory of things, especially the ability to add a description to the addresses of devices that it sees. Even after a device disappears, it keeps track of its temporary existence in the network.

Bandwidth slowdowns, strange connections, blocking P2P connections, and many others.

  ### 21. The guarantor of my protection and my privacy in the network.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tommy K. L. | IT Technician, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 19, 2019

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

I like this system since I can easily filter all the web traffic in my business, using its user-friendly interface, this software allows me to see the host where each web page is located in order to protect the navigability to any threat, also this system keeps us on alert as they live in a permanent monitoring of internet connections, both the local network and the WI-Fi connections that may be available in my business.

Being able to protect each mobile device we had at that time.

I also liked this system's efficient technical support team, as I am amazed by how quickly they respond and the security they provide to have their assistance.

**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

This system is practically a protector of your connections on the web and for this reason tends to slow down the speed of the Internet connection of all devices in the company, I can also limit how expensive this system has become, which is not something simple to have for smaller companies.

**Recommendations to others considering GlassWire Firewall:**

This system must be used in any company in order to be able to use all the monitoring functions of the network. It has a very competitive and vital benefits package for your business.

**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Thanks to this system I have been able to save a lot of money thanks to the fact that I have been able to reduce the costs in the data plan for the administrative staff, since with this system they can use the company's WiFi system. This software gives you a complete report showing the use of the data of each mobile device.

**Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2020

The interface does provide a lot of notifications if enabled which can get annoying - but this can be turned off if unwanted

  ### 23. GlassWire Firewall - My opinion

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Richard V. | Directeur Commercial & Marketing, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 11, 2019

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

GlassWire is an advanced tool that allows the user to filter network traffic. The main advantage of GlassWire is a very aesthetic interface, which attracts the eye and is very clear so that we can easily find the search for features. GlassWire allows us to check which hosts our computer is currently using to make inquiries so that we can protect ourselves against threats. Another advantage of GlassWire is the fact that this solution warns us of unusual movement and unusual changes in applications. GlassWire also allows us to monitor our Wifi network, so we can also protect devices operating in our local network. Another feature I liked very much was the ability to configure custom firewall profiles for different scenarios. It's worth mentioning that GlassWire is available free of charge in the Basic package and allows us to provide additional protection for our mobile devices.


**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

- The free version is very limited.
- GlassWire is missing some features to replace antivirus software.


**Recommendations to others considering GlassWire Firewall:**

If you are looking for software that will provide you with an additional layer of protection, then you should consider using GlassWire right now, all the more so with this software is available completely free of charge.


**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Using GlassWire, I can monitor network traffic, so I can detect anomalies or suspicious processes.

Nothing! It is not very User Friendly. I uninstalled it next day.

**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

None

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chathuri J. | University Undergaduate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 22, 2019

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

This is related to my experience in using a previous version of GlassWire. I mostly used the software to moderate the data usage by different apps and background processes in my computer. The software provides a firewall that can block certain processes from using data packages. Further it shows the amount of the data amount been used by each process. These two features helped me to recognize the processes that drain my data packages and block them. Apart from these two features, GlassWire provides comprehensive visualizations of your network usage. This helps to identify the peak time of data usage and if mobile data or WiFi was used for those usages. 

**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

With the new updates, the aforementioned firewall feature was made a premium feature which makes the users to upgrade themselves to premium level to get the benefit. This change may have discouraged a considerable number of GlassWire users. Yet, it still is a very useful product for monitoring data usage of your computer. It would be better if the aforementioned feature can be made available for all users again.

**Recommendations to others considering GlassWire Firewall:**

Great tool for monitor your network. If possible, try to upgrade to premium level to get all the features' benefits. This is tool is very useful if you have experienced quick data package for several times without using the package for your work. 

**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Before I started using GlassWire, the data package I was using, started to drain very quickly. I could not find the cause for this rapid drainage. This was because my data package was used by Windows update processes in the background. With GlassWire, I could prevent such processes use mobile data and use only WiFi. This was a huge benefit in terms of the reduction of cost for multiple data packages within a period. Further, GlassWire provides clear and comprehensive visualizations of the data usage which makes it easy to recognize high data usages and their details.

I like how simple this program makes it to monitor traffic on your network.

This makes it so that you know where your data is going, and in the past, this has helped me track down malicious software that phones home.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 22, 2019

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

I have found that the FireWall built into the Max OS has been the best and it is free. This comes in at a close second though. It’s possible for bigger companies that it would worth the cost.

**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

Apple gives you a great firewall for free. And when you’re a small business, sometimes that makes all difference.

**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alastair 'Presario' H. | Owner, Internet, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2018

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

The implementation time is amazingly short, the ability to customize the basic features is straightforward, and the "Ask To Connect" portion of the Firewall is amazing. I love that I can look at the "Things" tab to quickly see what devices are connected to my network, and when they were first seen.

**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

Glasswire likes to "push" it's new updates through annoying pop-ups.  This would typically be a good thing, except for the fact that their updates sometimes break things that were working fine.

  ### 48. Network Security Simplified

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Daryl W. | Founder/Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 05, 2017

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

I was recommended to GlassWire through popular YouTuber "Barnacules Nerdgasm" aka Jerry Berg who is a computer expert who has previously worked as a programmer and technician at Microsoft for 15 years. He is no joke when it comes to network security, so his seal of approval of GlassWire sold me to get the software.

I have been more than happy with the software and it's detailed network analytics. The very instant a program accesses my network I get a notification which is great. I can also block said program from my network right from GlassWire's built in Firewall. 

The detailed activity graph is also very useful to see how much data is being used across the network and it shows how much data all open apps are using through GlassWire's Usage tab.

GlassWire's "Lock Down Mode" also allows you to block all network connectivity. This is useful if you must leave your computer on while you are away from your computer. This stops viruses and even unwanted people, if they so happen to access your computer, from using your network.

**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

No ability to stop threats within GlassWire. But any PC expert knows to have dedicated anti-virus software. But having that ability within GlassWire would of been a plus.

**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Instead of shelling out loads of money on Malwarebytes (it's now subscription based instead of one time fee) I can primarily use GlassWire for threat and network activity detection. The UI is sleek and smooth making the hands on experience great. Saving money and keeping my network clean.

  ### 49. GlassWire, nice and easy to check your network

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Frank P. | Desarrollador web, Program Development, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 04, 2016

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

It is easy to use, it is intuitive, and warns you of your network activity graphically. I did not know this software until a client asked me to check it out, because he was concerned with his network usage, So I tried it, it helped me solved a problem I had with my internet connection going slow. Checking the network activity I found I had the infamous TenCent software installed, some how it bypassed my firewall, antimalware and antivirus. After I eliminated it everything went back to normal.

**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

It is a little heavy on memory, Within the program you will be able to detect and/or identify suspicious activity, unfortunately you do not have the option of eliminate the threat ant stop it but not eliminate it.

**Recommendations to others considering GlassWire Firewall:**

It is a necessary tool to control your network activity, in addition it let you solve problems without too much trouble, identify bottlenecks in your traffic.

**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I can check what is going on in my network without too much trouble, and I can resolve any network use related problem within the program 

  ### 50. Great network security tool

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Amir N. | Product Development Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2016

**What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?**

This relatively new network traffic monitoring software does a very good job monitoring your network activity.
I've been using it since the stable beta stages and it is now my favorite network monitoring app.
The user interface is clean and clear with a modern look and feel to it.
It does not abuse popup-messages and all the information it provides is unobtrusive and easy to follow or act on.
Very easy to view the traffic and block it if needed
You get per-app control and network usage information
Notification when an installed software version changes.
It is free for basic usage while paid versions available with extra features

**What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?**

May not be suited for a beginner user who wants a set-it and forget-it application.
It may be a little too demanding on computer resources, if you are using a low spec machine.
Cannot export logs, only view the activity in the app interface
New devices detection only available on paid version.
Some may not like that you only get notification the first time an app using the network (not me…)
The single PC license could be cheaper.

**Recommendations to others considering GlassWire Firewall:**

try the free version. upgrade if you need the extra features.


**What problems is GlassWire Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Useful to monitor network activity that antivirus and antimalware apps do not detect.
Basic version is free and unobtrusive, no reason not to give it a try to find if it is useful to you.
