#92> You deserve to know to whom your Apps are talking to.
Ooo, one word too many.

#95Is there an equivalent for Linux?
I wrote picosnitch [1] which has the same notification and bandwidth monitoring features, however it doesn't block traffic for a couple reasons: avoiding scope creep so I can focus on more reliable detection and do things like hash every executable, which makes it harder to block traffic in a timely fashion.

Completely agree. Occasionally I run Charles Proxy[1] on my iPhone to analyze network activity and am disturbed by what I see. Software shouldn't be able to open arbitrary network connections without user consent/control, but we're not there yet to a large enough degree on mobile unfortunately.

opensnitch is the most popular.
you can also roll your own. on my github is tinysnitch (nfq based, no pid info) and mighty-snitch (lsm based, with pid info).
picosnitch is also very cool, though slightly different.
