ITT: people care way more about the superficial qualities of security software than, ya know, security.

This looks way easier and prettier than open sourced NIDS and HIDS like snort and OSSEC, and I think that's why I'm supremely skeptical they hired enough security people versus frontent people.

GlassWire isn't a replacement for an antivirus. I think the only way to see all network activity is by tapping into the wire itself. I made GlassWire to give myself an easy way to see what my computer was doing in the background but I do understand there are always going to be ways to bypass it along with any other application.

I'm not sure you are clear on what distinguishes a host based intrusion detection system, network based intrusion detection system, and antivirus. The feature list you are advertising sounds like a NIDS and HIDS, well known security software used in any secured network. I realize your software isn't antivirus like Norton or ClamAV. I am suggesting you might not be familiar with popular open source software that seems to accomplish your same feature set that large companies often use.

Intrusion detection systems are in a different business. They use stats or fingerprints to flag bad traffic/behaviour, then log alerts. Glasswire is an inspection tool to see what apps are doing net traffic wise on your computer.
