GlassWire Firewall Overview
GlassWire is a network security and monitoring tool for Windows (with an Android version) that combines a firewall with clear visual graphs of your network activity. It shows which applications are connecting to the internet, how much data they use, and which servers they reach, presenting this as an easy-to-read timeline so unusual activity stands out. Its firewall lets you block applications from accessing the network, and it can alert you to new connections, device joins on your network, and other changes. A freemium model offers core monitoring with paid tiers adding history and features. Its full installer holds the complete application, so it sets up on a machine with no internet connection. An Android version extends the same monitoring to mobile devices, and an 'ask to connect' mode can prompt before any new app reaches the network.
