It provides features such as internet security, bandwidth usage monitoring, remote server monitoring and internet privacy protection. The network monitoring module allows administrators to monitor current and past network activity by traffic type, application and user’s geographic, all of which are displayed in graphs. Administrators can click the graph to see application details or network events, such as spikes in network activity. GlassWire monitors threats, network system file changes, application changes, ARP spoofing, DNS changes and alerts administrators to various problems. The firewall reveals network activities so that administrators can see what current and past servers their computer is communicating with and can block potential threats. GlassWire’s usage tab lets users check how much bandwidth is being used to help maintain hosting limits. Pricing is per license. Support is offered through an online knowledge base. > > Verdict: Rated **4.7/5** by 68 users.
