Purchased a "lifetime" license a few months back on Steam.

Changed PC, cannot activate the software on new PC. That's not how Steam works, and that's not how lifetime works as it wasn't "one install only". Yes, on one machine only.

Support isn't responding. Not directly, not on Steam, not on Twitter.

I think the company is bankrupt, or if they are not yet, they soon will be with that kind of support.

I'll see when the payment was, and if I can get it back via PayPal.

Spams me with ads for a sale that has ended

It does monitor my network traffic, but it also constantly spams me with ads to upgrade my subscription. I only run windows on one PC, so the other options are pointless, but it keeps telling me there's a seasonal sale on and to "Upgrade". That's bad enough, but if you click on the link it says the sale has ended. Utter shambles, it wont get renewed.

They charged me twice for the subscription renewal!! When my first year was up they charged me twice for it. After I complained they just refunded me and cancelled my subscription. No apology for charging me twice, and no refund of the international credit card fees, and just useless customer service. I would *never* give these people permission to charge my credit card again, so be warned if you think about subscribing to GlassWire. On reflection, it's not such a great piece of software and expensive.

Found malware my antivirus missed.

My PC was super slow on zoom meetings for my school. I used GlassWire then turned on its virustotal scan option and I found malware that my antivirus could not see for some reason.

I then removed it and now my meetings are fast again. The malware was called

Too expensive.

Given that the paid version of the app really only adds a firewall (the rest of the features are almost fully useless) it just waaaay too expensive. Paying 40 bucks a year for a subscription to a firewall that doesn't even block most of the ransomware.
There are companies that sell similar features (even more) for the same price.

very good product

very good product, I only use it to check bandwidth usage, it has some issues with slow computers, taking 100% CPU usage and overheating my i3 10th gen laptop so had to uninstall it on that device.
working perfectly fine in my PC

Glasswire Firewall Software

Whilst I see others concern on Privacy and Glasswire/SecureMix LLC Server, I have found the software and simple notifications very good. As for the subscription, it was clear this was annually paid and whilst an unsubscribe may not be present, a call to Customer Service would no doubt result in you being able to cancel. Try the free download, you may be very happy, I was.

I use this software at work and at home.At work we use it to keep track of network usage along with scanning for badware. Highly recommend this. Also like how they support the EFF and other privacy orgs.

Stops apps from calling bad servers

If you do not like apps phoning home without permission then you will like Glassware.

I used it to find an app calling home that had no business to do so.

I just use the free version. Paid is expensive but the free one is good enough for my computer.

Great little security app

Great little security app! In my country data is limited so I use GlassWire to see what apps are using my bandwidth, then I block them.
