GlassWire Portable
Giovanna Qiu
Hi GayNamedPaul
Maybe tick the options when the installer gets to Clean Install (Clear Data & Settings)
and also tick restore windows firewall default setting. See screenshot options
Not sure if it will work but give it a go.
Tips to fix-
Delete our installer.
Reboot your PC.
Download our latest version again from glasswire site.
Double click the installer and do nothing else, then wait. Please look at the taskbar for any notices that you need to click. Please wait at least 2-3 minutes just in case.
We have put out a fix for this problem. Please try 2.0.105.

Got the same issue, installed on windows 10 pc, all fine. This was the 5th app i have tried liked it the most. Installed on windows 7 x86 laptop all fine. Installed on a windows 7 x64 gaming pc cant connect to server, sever stopped working.
I have uninstalled rebooted, reinstalled also reinstalled using delete all data box checked. Checked installer hash. Deleted app data (programdata) folder for glasswire. uninstalled av, turned off and on firewall, redone firewall, and base filter in services.msc, made sure the wlanauto service thing was running. disabled or uninstaller any ghost wifi cards or network adapters. Updated windows.
not sure why it wont work (seems to be not service installed), I could not find glasswire gw or any other glasswire like named service in the services.msc list. I found the post about making .bat file, to install the driver.
While true Android only allows for one VPN slot at a time, there are other methods such as device profiles (if your phone supports them) which would allow a VPN to be used in each active profile (main profile runs your preferred VPN, secondary profile would then be able to use glasswires VPN.)
like the png attached, glasswire is classifying the traffic from discord as if its from thailand, but that domain I have seen numerous time before and it is never from thailand. similarly glasswire has grouped microsoft SSDP enables discovery of upnp traffic (239.255.255.250) and a lot of other local traffic as if its from thailand. Other PCs with older glasswire versions such as 2.3.413 never had this issue. Is there something wrong with the current version of glasswire?
On my end it just seems to be a problem with version 2.3.449? I have version 2.3.413 and 2.3.444 running on other endpoints and none of them have this problem so far. As a trend it seems that any connection with the region stated as Other and has a green icon next to them such as all the ipv4 and ipv6 multicast addresses as well as some discord domains that previously had region displayed as Others are all being displayed as thailand connections. Does anyone else have this issue with the latest version? or is something compromised on my end?
afaik there were no instances of wrong traffic region occurring in versions prior to 2.3.449. it just took me by surprise and thought it was something other than an error.
Thanks for the insight and ill look into emailing regarding this problem.
Dealing with development & sql servers, I like to know what type of network traffic is happening on my machine. What is the overhead of monitoring on network bandwidth, what is communicating across servers or even externally?
You can create perfmon counters, but realistically sometimes I just want a easy quick overview of network traffic with minimal overhead. I have been using a utility I came across called Glasswire, and found this tremendously helpful. I'd highly recommend taking a look at this. I've installed on a couple of the sandbox sql servers I have worked with and found it really great for evaluating the network traffic occurring from the monitoring services running on them.
Disclaimer: I have been provided with a free license to allow me to review the product in detail. This doesn't impact my assessment of the tool. I just love great tools and try to help other developers find them.
Sounds boring, but Glasswire changed my perspective on this. I always want to know what's "phoning home" and using up my bandwidth, but until I tried this app, I never have found something that tracked and reported on it in a clean user friendly way. Process Hacker is my preferred task manager, and it can provide some metrics when running, but not a long term history, and not in a user friendly format for analysis.
I found this great as a simple way to compare two SQL server monitor tools traffic against each other. I wanted to know the network traffic load they were generating, and this was a great way to get some quick transparency on the network impact. In this example, the test wasn't perfect as they had slightly different detail level tracking configuration, so just take this as an example.
Before GlassWire we made a webcam virtual driver software that allowed you to use your webcam with multiple applications simultaneously. That company was acquired a couple years ago. Making a sophisticated driver gave us experience with making drivers, so we used that experience to make our network monitoring driver.
Since launch we have been surprised by how many people use GlassWire to keep their data usage low and save money and resources. For example some of our customers have boats and they are on very strict data plans out on the ocean, so they use GlassWire to see what's wasting their data and also block apps they don't want to use while out at sea.
After we launched we were surprised by how feedback was so positive right away. I was worried that nobody would want the software at all, but people seem to like it and we have now had close to 4 million downloads.
I always felt that I couldn't see what was happening with my PC's network usage so I built GlassWire for myself so I could instantly see what was happening. I also had some relatives who lived in a remote area and could only use Satellite Internet access. Satellite only gives you a little data, then throttles you so it's very useful to see what apps are wasting your data. GlassWire also has a built in bandwidth overage monitor to help with that.
I tested a lot of different tools to see what was happening on the network but I found them difficult to use, plus I couldn't find any that could go back in time and show me past network usage so our team worked together to build GlassWire. QT allows us to build a beautiful UI and make changes easier over time.
After launching we found that Bittorrent users were causing GlassWire to use too much memory/resources on their PC because Bittorrent communicates with so many hosts simultaneously in such a short time period. We had to redesign GlassWire to use less resources for these users, and I blogged about it here -glasswire-1-2-saves-your-memory-and-resources/. There were a lot of different hard decisions we had to make, like adding "loading..." in some places in the UI to take the load off of GlassWire for users who had too many hosts. I was worried users may find these short delays annoying bit fortunately nobody seemed to be upset about it and we are continuing to grow, and GlassWire now uses significantly less resources for everyone.
I try to look at other popular applications and study what makes them successful. Currently we are working on our Android application and the work on Android has helped me come up with some ideas on how to improve yet simplify our GlassWire desktop software.
We love to get user feedback in the forum and on Twitter, etc... For me it's easy to come up with feature/design choices because I want GlassWire for myself. I think I'm a pretty normal person and usually the things that I want others want too.
We're excited about bringing GlassWire to mobile and Mac, but it's not easy so we're trying to make sure our Mac/mobile versions have the same high quality as our desktop software. We don't want to cut corners, so I hope our fans will be patient!
Since we built the software for ourselves we tried to create a simple layout that we preferred, kind of like a web browser. We tried some 1 second intervals but it made the graph look jerky and it hurt the eyes so the team spent a lot of time making the smooth graph we ended up with. One of the main things I wanted myself was to be able to see what caused a spike on the graph and with GlassWire you can just click the spike, then see what hosts/apps were involved in the spike.
Hope you enjoy and thanks to Glasswire for sponsoring this. Give the free version a shot, even if you aren't planning on going pro. It's a great tool for anyone to increase transparency on what's really happening with their system.
I've grown up reading Tom Clancy and probably most of you have at least seen Red October, so this book caught my eye when browsing used books for a recent trip. It's a fairly human look at what's involved in sailing on a Trident missile submarine...
Question: Can a 2008 SQL instance be used as the witness for a 2005 database mirroring setup? This question was sent to me via email. My reply follows. Can a 2008 SQL instance be used as the witness for a 2005 database mirroring setup? Databases to be mirrored are currently running on 2005 SQL instances but will be upgraded to 2008 SQL in the near future.

Last week I posted Speaking at Community Events - Time to Raise the Bar?, a first cut at talking about to what degree we should require experience for speakers at events like SQLSaturday as well as when it might be appropriate to add additional focus/limitations on the presentations that are accepted. I've got a few more thoughts on the topic this week, and I look forward to your comments.
