GlassWire showed wrong data, so I fixed it and made it FOSS

GlassWire unfortunately does not count data usage of apps it cannot identify which includes stuff like work folders, samsung's "Secure Folder" thing and many other similar features. That unfortunately makes the data shown quite misleading. While the app, Traffic Light, cannot link that info to specific apps either, imo it's important to be transparent and still show that that data has been used.

Also, the app has a bunch of other features such as a persistent network speed (live-)notification, extensive data plan tracking and widgets.

Actually, the title is a bit of a lie, as that was not the core intention of making the project, but I've made previous posts attacking Internet Speed Meter and the app does much more :D
