Does this mean Little Snitch's days are numbered?
Why did something happen with LS? I couldn’t find any damning headline here on HN.

#12What about the same for Linux? I would pay twice the LittleSnitch price for it if it was working really good.

You can use OpenSnitch on Linux. These days it's quite stable, they even have binaries.

Ok, thank you for a clue, I'll give it a try. The last time I checked it was clearly very far from production-ready. It still shouts "this software is a work in progress, do not expect it to be bug free and do not rely on it for any type of security" in all caps on its homepage which suggests it still is. Given all the abandoned attempts I've seen in the past I also feel very skeptical this one too.

#16Works great. I replaced Little Snitch with it. I like it's simple interface and simple value proposition.

#17I wonder how this works with respect to apple's "special exemptions" for its own applications. (bypass NEFilterDataProvider)
IIRC it was the developer of lulu that first reported those exceptions.

#18Interesting to see this on the front page of HN - I've been using it happily for years, no complaints. It's illuminating to see just how "chatty" certain apps are (or wish to be!).
I guess it’s been submitted here because of the recent v2.1.0 release, which brings Apple M1 compatibility, https://mobile.twitter.com/patrickwardle/status/134889032317...

I'm aware no one asked, but in case anyone was scanning for Windows, simplewall is a reasonable alternative, both free and open source (development powered by donations): https://www.henrypp.org/product/simplewall
I'm not affiliated with them.

you know LuLu and Little Snitch are made by the same company (obj-see ... obj-c ???)
