Also, Microsoft has added ways to block Telemetry for awhile now. It’s part of Windows and you can enable this yourself any time.
On top of this we always try to do everything possible so GlassWire can’t cause any harm to our users. We don’t believe it’s good to easily allow our users to block Windows Security Updates.
