I believe that the hosts history should not be visible by default. It also shows hosts while browsing in private mode.
Maybe only visible with an UAC auth.

#252Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm a Windows user (go on, press the down arrow) and I don't care about app design. Give me military ship grey windows, text menus and a way to hide all icons. Windows 2000 was for me the apogee of 2D design.
Despite flat design being categorized as a fad by design news today, I would LOVE a Win2k style desktop with flat design. Could probably just be a texture swap.
I've that aroglassy thingy disabled on Windows 7, looks about the same as XP without that ugly Luna (seriosly, who thought of that?).

#253Beautiful UI! Just curious: why not block connection attempts from new programs automatically? By the time a user has noticed and blocked future connections, it may well be too late. On a related note, I recently tested a number of firewalls for Windows using Comodo's HIPS and Firewall Leak Test Suite[1]; the only one I found that passed all tests with virtually no setup or changes was SpyShelter Firewall[2]. Not an…
Do you have it written down perhaps? What firewalls you tested and how they managed? I'd be interested.

#254This is great app. However, I am facing an issue.
I am not able to connect to a remote server. I don't know why! This is what I am doing: 1- Allowing server access in Server tab in Settings on one computer. 2- Trying to connect from another machine using the credentials.
I am not able to connect. Does anyone else face the same issue?

#255considering you are also monitoring physical changes to the box (network interface changes for example), would it be within scope to monitor workstation locking/unlocking and hibernation? same question with removal/addition of plug-and-play devices (HDDs for example)
Instead of monitoring locking/unlocking we monitored idle time instead. You'll notice the graph turns shaded when your computer is idle so if you see some strange spikes you can go back in time on the graph and investigate.
on the alerts page, it tells me that 2 alerts occurred, but it doesn't allow me to view those alerts?
that should probably be fixed, not much point in a idle mode if it just makes things more difficult to investigate
edit: also currently using 1.3GB of memory. what.

#256Bug report: After few hours of installing the app. I got a blue screen KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILUR which repeated 3 times. I removed the app from the start up list and disabled the windows service. now everything is back to normal. System: Win 8.1
I haven't seen this yet. If you have time to post a report to our contact page we'd really appreciate it https://www.glasswire.com/contact/
I don't see it anywhere on your site, but have you passed (or at least tried) Windows Logo test? That coupled with driver certification kit can show some warnings. It's costly to get signed driver and certified product, but you can just run the tests for free and see if everything is OK.

#257I got hacked, felt paranoid, made an app... Yeah right!
This app is not a one man show! This app, with all it's license stuff, backdoors etc.. all ready to know a lot of all your network traffic going in and out, and you agree upon all this when you install it. Now YOU got hacked! Or do you think the app will also show in detail what data they store and share on their servers and third parties and more?
767 point and counting on HN, amazing...
Good luck!

I'm sorry, I don't, but there are detailed tests and comparisons at: http://www.matousec.com/projects/proactive-security-challeng... . One well-respected app that does not appear in those results is Online Armor, apparently due to some sort of falling out: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/privatefirewall-awful...

#259Earlier quoted context omitted.
Here is a library that helps to create such an interface: http://mahapps.com/ It's also mentioned in the blog post you've posted. Disclaimer: I'm one of the developers of MahApps.Metro, I hope nobody minds the shameless self-promotion
Thank you for your work on MahApps. It's not perfect but does 95% of what I need when I drop it in to small WPF applications.
If you tell me what's not perfect, maybe I can fix it :)

#260Another request from me for a Linux version!
--- maybe related... I remember when switched to linux some years ago, the software I really missed was ZoneAlarm and still haven't find a nice alternative (for fast and easy control of the outbount(!)/inbound net trafic). I liked that I could block and unblock the internet access of each application from the systray icon. Any suggestions?
