Why I’m skipping the proprietary "Little Snitch" for Linux (the.unknown-universe.co.uk)

Yeah, I was somewhat dismayed to see Little Snitch getting so much attention on mastodon despite it not being free software. I don't see the appeal.

OpenSnitch does the job quite well. Things in debian are mostly well-behaved, but it's caught quite a few games running under wine that were up to no good.

Hell, you can also get Portmaster, which is still open source.

I agree, I don't know why this bit of software is getting all this attention.
