GlassWire vs windows

GlassWire is a network monitoring and personal firewall application for Windows and Android that visualizes current and past network activity to help users spot malware, bandwidth hogs, and unfamiliar devices on their network. Its firewall includes an ask-to-connect mode that lets users approve or deny individual apps' network access, alongside a network time machine for reviewing historical connections. GlassWire also tracks data usage across devices and can alert users before they exceed set data limits, while its network scanner flags new or unknown devices joining a WiFi network. Over 53 million downloads have been recorded for the Windows and Android apps combined.

dockur/windows runs a full Windows desktop inside a Docker container, using KVM acceleration on a Linux host. It automates the Windows installation and exposes the running desktop through a browser-based viewer on port 8006 or any RDP client, with USB passthrough and configurable CPU, RAM, and disk. It needs Docker or Podman on a Linux host with /dev/kvm available - Docker Desktop on macOS or Windows does not provide KVM access to containers and is not supported.
