Why Doesn’t GlassWire Block Incoming Connections?

[Abe]

I’ve been researching GlassWire recently, and it doesn’t seem to have a built-in way to block incoming connections, unlike some free options like Simplewall. From what I understand, GlassWire serves as a simpler way to manage the Windows Firewall rather than acting as a standalone firewall.

My question is, why wouldn’t GlassWire include something as important as blocking incoming connections? Is there a particular reason for this design choice?

No.
