After using GlassWire for a few months, the firewall pane has become unmanageable.
It’s a single list of items with no defined sort order, and after some time applications end up in a hidden “inactive apps” list.
-
Split the list into panes.
Have one vertical list for blocked applications and another for allowed applications.
This immediately makes it easier to find what you’re looking for. -
Provide sort options for the lists.
Clicking a column header should sort the lists.
I would suggest adding “first connection” and “last activity” columns. -
Make the lists searchable.
Having a search box in the upper-right would make it even quicker to find what you’re looking for - especially if it searches both the executable name and the application name. -
Firewall rules.
Being able to automatically block or allow certain applications would make GlassWire much nicer to use.
For example, every time I update my video drivers I get three or four prompts and more applications added to my firewall list.
A rule to automatically block all connection attempts fromC:\NVIDIA\would silently block them. -
Temporary/timed rules.
There are two annoyances with modern gaming:
1 - Most games now require online activation to play.
2 - These games typically assign a unique identifier to you, and track everything that you do - logging how long you spend playing their game for example.
It would be very useful if I could have a rule pointing toC:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\which allows a 30 second connection window when an application is launched so that it can activate online, which then automatically blocks any further access.
