well done. but useless for the intended purpose.

most malwares will rip thru this like butter.

i would only trust something like this running out of the box believed to be compromised. in the router for example.

The only true way to fully monitor the network is by tapping the actual wire. We started off wanting to make a malware tool but we found it was not reasonable so we tried to add more network monitoring and privacy features. The GlassWire software does look for malicious hosts and other changes to the system that could indicate malware but of course without directly monitoring the wire there is no way to see everything your machine is doing on the network. GlassWire works with your antivirus and is not meant to be an antivirus.
