Free firewall and network monitor that visualizes your PC's network activity in real time
GlassWire Free is a modern firewall and network monitoring tool designed to give you full visibility into your PC's online activity without overwhelming you with technical complexity. It combines an intuitive interface with powerful traffic analytics so you can immediately see which apps are connecting to the internet, how much data they use, and whether anything suspicious is happening in the background.
The application displays your current and past network activity on a live graph, with clear color-coded indicators for different types of traffic. This makes it easy to spot unusual spikes or unknown connections and investigate them before they become a real problem. If you notice a suspicious process, GlassWire lets you block it with just a couple of clicks using its built-in firewall controls.
GlassWire Free is particularly useful for privacy-conscious users, gamers, and anyone on a limited data plan who wants to understand exactly where their bandwidth is going. You can see which applications connect the most, when they started sending data, and to which hosts they are communicating. This level of transparency helps you detect potential malware, spyware, or badly behaving software that traditional antivirus solutions might miss.
Despite its advanced capabilities, GlassWire Free remains lightweight and easy to use. The interface is clean, with clear tabs for traffic monitoring, firewall rules, and device discovery. The free edition includes essential monitoring and click-to-block firewall features, while premium upgrades unlock more advanced options for power users. Whether you are troubleshooting a slow connection, tracking down a suspicious process, or simply learning more about your own network usage, GlassWire Free offers a practical, user-friendly way to take control of your PC's security and traffic.
Visualize all incoming and outgoing network activity on an interactive graph, with per-app and per-host details to quickly spot unusual connections
Use simple click-to-block controls to allow or deny internet access for individual applications directly from the GlassWire interface
Track daily, weekly, and monthly data usage per app and host, ideal for users with limited data plans or slow connections
GlassWire Free can be downloaded and used at no cost, with core monitoring and firewall features included. Premium subscriptions unlock additional advanced functionality.
GlassWire Free complements your existing antivirus by monitoring network activity and blocking suspicious connections but does not scan files like a traditional antivirus solution.
