Incredible. LittleSnitch is must-have for macOS and trying to get equivalent functionality on Linux was painful. So very happy to see this, and very happy to give the developers at Objective Development my money.

#32I remember before Little Snitch there was ZoneAlarm for Windows[0] (here is a good screenshot[1]). No clue if the current version of ZoneAlarm does anything like that (have not used it in 2 decades). I always found it weird that Linux never really had anything like it.

Completely forgot about ZoneAlarm. I remember using it in the early 2000s!

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
This comment seems a bit confused. A supply chain attack doesn't directly attack an end developer but rather a supplier of the developer. So who or what is the supplier in this case?
This seems pedantic and I think you know what they’re questioning and why.

No, not really. And I disagree with the premise, "They must be a target for the various hacking groups out there."
How would you even hack them? I'm a developer too; how would you hack me?

#34Why would one use this over PiHole?
LittleSnitch isn't for ad blocking (only), it is for tracking/blocking/allowing ALL connections from various processes. PiHole only blocks DNS requests to known ad servers.

#35Nice to have this as an extra option, but being a linux user I value openness of code. I am pretty content with opensnitch + opensnitch-ui.

isn’t this essentially built into Windows these days? although it seems to come with a lot of programs pre-approved.
Most of the windows firewalls tools are just front ends for the integrated one with more sensible defaults.

#38>The daemon (littlesnitch --daemon) is proprietary, but free to use and redistribute.
Worth noting that it is closed source. Would be worth contributing patches to OpenSnitch to bring it up to parity with Little Snitch.

It's interesting hw lng it took for linux to get a user friendly application firewall like OpenSnitch

If they trust the devs why would they not trust them to not yolo deploy new versions?
