Upgrade to GlassWire 2.3 with new IOT detection features!

GlassWire 2.3 is here with new IOT features showing your current IP addresses, Mac address, Gateway info, and DNS servers. To use the new features, go to our "Things" screen and click the "I" icon next to "Connected" on the top right part of the screen.

Next you'll notice how GlassWire keeps a list of all your devices that have ever been on your network. If a device joined and left while you weren't using GlassWire you'll now see the details about this device under the "All" sorting option. Want to remove a device or remove multiple devices from the list? Mouse over the device you want to remove, then you'll see a small 3 dot menu to the right that looks like this (...). Click it, then choose "Forget device". Also, GlassWire now keeps separate lists of devices, depending on what network you join.

You'll also notice GlassWire's "Things" detection scanning is much faster and more reliable. To change GlassWire's scanning speed, options, and technologies, go to the top right settings icon that is directly below the top right "X" icon that you use to close the GlassWire main window. Click the settings icon and you'll see different options to sort your devices in the list.

You can also choose "More" to access the dedicated "Things" settings. It's now possible to change the "Threads quantity" with GlassWire's scanning. Moving the slider to the left makes GlassWire scan slower, but more accurate. Moving the slider to the right can make a very fast scan, but in some cases some devices can be missed. We let you decide which setting is best, but we recommend putting the slider somewhere near the middle. You can also disable certain scanning protocols if it causes problems with your corporate or home network. All networks can be different with some networks only having one or two devices, while others may have thousands of devices. This feature lets you adjust our scanning settings depending on how many devices you have to deal with on a daily basis.

Would you prefer to only get alerted when a new unknown device joins your network? If so, go to our top left menu and choose "Settings". Now click "Security" then "Things Monitor". Check the box "Notify me" then make sure "Report only new unknown devices" is selected. Now GlassWire will alert you when a new unknown device joins your network. You can also choose to get alerted every single time a devices joins/leaves the network, but you may find those alerts annoying if you have a lot of devices.

Do you want to keep notes about the devices on your network? With GlassWire 2.3 it's easy! Mouse over the device you want to add notes to, then click the 3 dot menu on the right. Now choose "Device name" to add a custom name and description for a device.

This major update also has a lot of other changes and fixes that we made due to GlassWire fan emails and forum posts. Visit https://www.glasswire.com/ to get GlassWire 2.3.318 Full or GlassWire 2.3.318 Lite and upgrade your IOT detection today!
