Glasswire alternative??

FreedomEclipse · Nov 21, 2022

Been using an unregistered copy of Glasswire to monitor connections for years. In an recent update they decided to stop allowing me to use this feature unless I registered... :fear:

Are there any legit software out there that does the same thing as glasswire but for free?

I dont need need any advanced features like blocking connections and apps from internet access. I just some software to monitor all incoming and outgoing connections once in a while.

Yeah I have noticed as well, they want you to register to use it from now on ,it's still free though (without the actual blocking feature) ,my solution was just reinstall the previous version, which still works fine....

I do the blocking with my firewall.

My mistake - but yeah. I could probably register but I dont want to.

I didn't register either, just reinstall the previous version where it's not needed.

According to their website, the basic program is "Free forever". Is registering really that intrusive? You don't have to use your real name. And you can always create a unique email address just for them and most likely can opt out of any spam/junk emails they might want to send you.

I mean if this was some totally unknown program or site wanting you to register, then for sure, back out and move on and say "good riddance!" But this is a company that you already have a history with and already know they are not malicious. Surly there are other companies much more intrusive and annoying who already know more about you than you do. :rolleyes:
