Millions of our GlassWire for Windows users have been asking for GlassWire on their mobile phones so they can see what their phones are doing over the network. We worked long and hard to create this first version of GlassWire for Android that’s 100% free with no in-app purchases or ads.

Our brand new Android app lets you instantly see which apps are wasting your data, acting suspiciously, slowing your phone’s Internet speed, or causing you to go over your carrier data limits. GlassWire for Android makes it easy to keep track of your mobile carrier data usage and WiFi Internet activity.

GlassWire 1.2.96 is now available through Steam. This update allows you to easily switch firewall modes by right clicking the GlassWire icon in the bottom right Windows tray area. Thanks for requesting this feature in the forum so we could add it for you!

What else is new in this update?

-The year is now added to the GlassWire network tab.
-Three security upgrades were made due to HackerOne bug reports.
-We fixed a problem where a network scan could cause the GlassWire service to crash.
-We added protection so third party DLL files can no longer interact with GlassWire and cause it to crash. Getting .dmp files on your desktop? This update should solve that for you.

Thanks for using GlassWire on Steam!

By the way, we have an Android version of GlassWire coming out soon!

In our previous GlassWire update we changed how the “network” tab works by using new technology and making GlassWire scan more often for other network devices. Unfortunately, for some sophisticated network hardware and software, this constant scanning would give off false positive alerts saying GlassWire was causing network problems. In some cases the false positives would say GlassWire was causing an “ARP Storm”.

We solved this issue with GlassWire 1.2.88 by adding a manual “scan” button on the “network” tab. Paid GlassWire users now have a scan once every 30 minutes, or they can choose to scan manually any time. Free GlassWire users never scan the network at all unless they manually press the “scan” button.

Paid users can also disable the network scan completely if they want. To disable GlassWire’s network scanning feature as a paid user you can create a text file called glasswire.conf and place it in the c:\programdata\glasswire\service folder. Add this string to the text file: enable_network_scan = false then restart the GlassWire service. We plan to add a setting for this in the future.

This update also fixed some bugs reported by users, plus fixed a bug that caused some users to crash in some cases.

If you’re a free user and you’re curious about what the “network” tab does, it’s actually a fun feature. If you buy GlassWire Basic, Pro, or Elite then GlassWire can alert you whenever a new unknown device joins your network. GlassWire will then tell you some details about the device like its IP and what type of hardware it is. For example if it’s an iPhone it will say it’s “Apple” hardware.

Please upgrade your GlassWire version today, and we at GlassWire wish you all a Happy New Year!

A new version of GlassWire is now on Steam.

GlassWire's network tab functionality has been rewritten from scratch for Basic, Pro, and Elite users! GlassWire now picks up new network connected devices faster, and shows more accurate information. Give it a try and let us know what you think.

We fixed a bug where some users would click the GlassWire icon in the Windows taskbar tray and nothing would happen.

We made a change to allow GlassWire to work with some VPN services that don't allow reverse host lookups.

This update also has many other bug fixes and resource usage improvements.

If you run into any issues please let us know so we can fix it or help!

Recently both WOT and Nvidia were in the news for the way their software was collecting and sending back data from their users.

WOT was in the news due to a report from a German TV channel. The report claimed that WOT collects and sells data about your browsing habits, and then that collected data can be tracked back to specific users.

After reviewing the data, Mozilla (the creators of Firefox) removed the WOT plug-in from their add-ons directory. We at GlassWire were saddened by this news because we found WOT to be a useful resource for looking up websites to see if they were safe or not.
