GlassWire 3.8 - Windows 10 “Cannot connect to local server” Issue & Hotfix Update

GlassWire Help
1

Hi everyone,

I want to address the “Cannot connect to local server” issue some Windows 10 users are seeing after installing GlassWire 3.8.

We did not encounter this during internal testing, but once reports started coming in, the development team investigated right away. We’ve now identified the root cause.

If you’re affected, reinstalling 3.8 and selecting “Use Legacy Driver” during installation resolves the issue in most cases.

Steps:

  1. Run the 3.8 installer again.
  2. Choose Use Legacy Driver when prompted.
  3. Complete installation and launch GlassWire.

A hotfix has already been prepared and is scheduled for release next week.

We will continue to limit the broader rollout of 3.8 for now so we can resolve issues like this before pushing it to all users.

Thank you to everyone who reported it quickly and shared details. That helped us isolate the problem much faster.

I’ll post again as soon as the hotfix is live.

Thanks,
Huda
