Starting with Vista and all subsequent Windows operating systems, protocol and web filtering are done by the Windows Filter Platform: Let me elaborate on the dangers of using any product that performs protocol and web filtering using a local host proxy.

Maybe he can get together with the developer of Windows Firewall Notifier who appears to have cracked that nut? Gives you time to research connection before deciding to block something.ĭo wish it would show service that svchost.exe was using at dial-out but that one is tricky to implement. Showed me connections I didn't know of previously such as a dial-out at start-up of Process Explorer - go figure?Īlso this approach of monitoring w/alert and logging of outbound connections is a sound one.

There is a blog posting floating around to the effect that the developer got hacked, I assume using the WIN firewall, and he created Glasswire as a result.
