The discovery of MetaPing were also a surprise - at that time, AppNee intended to migrate to a new server and needed a tool that can simultaneously monitor and test multiple server IPs to understand their connection speed and stability. In the end, after testing most similar tools, MetaPing stood out from the crowd due to its small size, good usability, and on-demand capability. After using MetaPing in practice, AppNee could not wait to share it with more users.

AppNee figured out that only very few people like or are used to use firewall, whether it's the one Windows built-in or from a variety of antivirus software. As a security software, GlassWire abandoned the tedious UI and operation in traditional security, monitoring software, instead, it visualized all the normal and useful operation - which is just the easiest to be accepted by non advanced users.
