GlazeWM is accessing my Network #628

Hi everyone,

first of all, I wanna thank all the contributors of this great project. I really have been enjoying Glaze for a while now. I don't have any issue with it. I just wanna know, why Glaze is accessing my Network. I had lately no internet and it didn't work well and that's where I inspected my Network Activity and saw Glaze there, but I really don't understand why a Tiling Window Manager has to access my Network? Could anybody tell me the reason. Thanks a lot and if possible, can I manually turn the network access off and Glaze still works fine?

@nishan-singh most likely due to dev dependencies packages updating etc. Just explore it yourself and then you can verify what actually happens. Furthermore, if you are on windows just disable the outgoing connection with "Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security".

Are you seeing requests to either 8.8.8.8 or Open Meteo? If so, it's because you either have the weather or network component enabled in your bar config.

@lars-berger Hi, actually, I don't see anything enabled in my config. I just had the standard config that comes with Glaze. Can you tell how to disable the Weather Comp, because I really don't look up for weather everyday xD.

c:\users\"your-username"\glaze-wm\config.yaml <-- open that file and delete the weather widget or comment it out as it says in the instruction.
