Glances als Linux-Alternative zu GlassWire
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Glances can serve as a basic replacement for GlassWire for users who need real‑time network statistics and per‑application bandwidth monitoring in a lightweight terminal or web interface. It is suitable for sysadmins, developers, or power users who prefer command‑line tools and are comfortable with a less graphical experience. However, it lacks the built‑in firewall controls, visual alerts, and domain‑blocking features that casual Windows users expect from GlassWire.

Was gleich funktioniert
- Both provide real‑time network traffic graphs
- Both can display per‑application bandwidth usage
- Both offer a web interface for remote monitoring
- Both run on Linux and can be installed from standard repositories
Was anders ist
- Glances does not include a firewall or packet filtering capability
- Glances lacks visual alerts for new connections
- Glances cannot block apps or domains
- Glances does not store long‑term historical usage data in a database
- Glances presents data in a terminal/web UI rather than a polished desktop GUI
Ihre GlassWire-Dateien öffnen
GlassWire stores its data in proprietary SQLite databases and log files that are not readable by Glances. Glances cannot import or export GlassWire files; you would need to rely on external tools or manual conversion if you want to migrate historical data.
Von GlassWire zu Glances wechseln – Schritt für Schritt
- 1. Uninstall GlassWire from Windows and back up its log folder if needed.
- 2. Install Glances on Linux via your distro’s package manager (e.g., apt install glances).
- 3. Run Glances in terminal or start the web UI with glances -w to view network stats.
- 4. Configure any desired plugins or filters to monitor specific applications.
- 5. If you need historical data, set up a separate logging mechanism (e.g., collectd or ntopng).

Can I use Glances as a firewall like GlassWire?
No. Glances only reports network activity; it does not provide packet filtering or firewall rules.
Does Glances keep a history of my bandwidth usage?
Glances itself does not store long‑term history, but you can pipe its output to a log file or use a monitoring agent that archives the data.
Is Glances easier to use than GlassWire?
It depends on your preference. Glances is lightweight and works from the terminal, but it lacks the graphical alerts and domain‑blocking UI that GlassWire offers.
