Beware that Little Snitch and other similar network filter extensions leak your IP address to the remote server even if there's an explicit block for that server.

No longer using MacOSX, but this was definitely one of most useful and usable security tools ever created. Especially in a time, where more than half of all the anti-virus or firewalls you would get were just snake-oil.

I even got a nice bug bounty, because I discovered that a popular program pulled it's updates via HTTP and executed the downloaded executable directly thereafter.

Is this solved by the new set of dns encryption features?

€39 to upgrade from 5.0.

From 3.0 to 4.0 and then to 5.0 were €25 each. This is a 56% uptick in price.

I wouldn't think so, as the issue mentioned doesn't have anything to do with dns.

The price of the app at that time was $45, not $59, if my records are correct.

But price of upgrade went up higher comparing change to the app pricing.
