• GlassWire's EULA and privacy policy were both updated for the GDPR. Your network activity and data usage information never leaves your device. Our company has never been able to see your network activity or app usage, and the GlassWire app does not collect your personal information.

• Column sorting has finally arrived! Mouse over columns under GlassWire’s Firewall, Things, or different host and app tabs to sort between hosts, apps, and bandwidth usage.
• GlassWire firewall list entries are now highlighted so it’s easy to line up file analysis results with apps under GlassWire’s Firewall tab.
• It’s now very easy to remove all your inactive apps at once in the GlassWire Firewall tab. Go to your inactive apps, then mouse over the inactive apps row and click the X to delete all your inactive apps at once.
