I’m considering buying Glasswire for the extra feature, mainly the Monitoring. I want to install Glasswire on my girlfriends Laptop (with her permission also she not tech savvy ) to see the traffic on her network and who’s on it, can this be done
Glasswire can only see machines that are on the same subnetwork – for example, those that use the same router. You can’t use it to remotely monitor a computer down the block that is on a separate network.
However, it could be installed separately and she can quickly learn what to look for on her own machine. One of the beauties of Glasswire is that the interface is clear and simple and does not require technical expertise to quickly learn to understand what key features mean.
Thanks @Servo_GlassWire, I am testing the remote monitoring features of glasswire.
The 2 machine are both using VPN, and yes they are not in the same subnetwork, I tried the steps in setting up the remote PC and the local PC, but when trying to connect from local PC to remote PC the connection is being dropped.
Remote PC:
First go to the top left GlassWire menu and open settings\remote access;
Check the box “Allow remote access by password”;
Click “Change password” and set the new password.
Click OK;
Open settings\remote access and make sure that the “Remote access state” is “Allowed”
Local PC:
Open Settings\Server List;
Click “Add new server” and select it on the “Server list”;
Type the name of the server;
Type the IP address of the remote server
I also try not to filter the “Allow access only from IP”, but the connection is still dropped. Is theres anything I need to setup?
