The issue seems to be with GlassWire version 3.7.880, which blocks all connections when set to “Ask to Connect.” To fix this:
-
If you’re using version 3.7.880, uninstall it and reinstall version 3.5.821, which works fine.
-
Disable auto-updates to prevent it from upgrading to the problematic version.
-
If you have 3.7.880 installed, try updating it to the latest version after a clean install to see if that resolves the issue.
If it still persists, consider reaching out to GlassWire support for further assistance.
3.8.1033
Clean install, reset windows firewall settings.
Still always asks if I want to allow google updater, dropbox, etc.
I’m so, so tired of this. It’s been going on for years. Please make it stop 
Hi, thank you !
Now I remember that 3.5.821 version didn’t allow for distinguishing between inbound and outbound connections yet. However, for some applications, it is preferable to block incoming connections only.
Version 3.6.859, which I was using just before, allowed for this distinction, but it already forced me to constantly re-authorize apps that had been approved previously (at every update, which can be daily for some). However, it didn’t yet have the drawback of creating multiple entries for the same application in the list.
So there’s no perfect alternative, I guess.
Are there actually any programmers left at GlassWire, or is it just a few community managers replying every now and then to prevent users from starting a class action, all while they keep raking in profits from the last few naive people who still believe there’s something behind GlassWire’s promises?

I’m not a GlassWire Premium user but unlike other forums It seems to me that here the developers do not participate to the discussion. This could explain the lack of feedback from them regarding questions from users or potential users like me Feature Request: Path-Based Firewall Blocking for Temporary Files just to give an example
I must say that very rarely I’ve seen softwares that need to be downgraded to solve their issues, even if sometimes it may be the only solution but it should be a temporary fix. It’s not very acceptable, however, especially for paid software.
I think that whatever software, both free and even more so for paid, should be thorougly tested before officially release it.

Hey everyone,
We pushed out a new version yesterday with fixes for a bunch of the issues people have flagged in the forum. No pressure to install it right away if you’re not feeling it, but if you do update and something’s still off, sending your logs over to support would honestly help us out a ton. That kind of detail goes a long way in helping us pin down whatever’s still lingering.
And if you’d rather post here, that works too. Either way, the more specifics you can share, the better.
Thanks for hanging in there with us.
