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.

Oh, it's proprietary?

Fuck them, then.

A good read, and yeah along with others comments, I'll just stick to Opensnitch which really has truly been fantastic for years now

Just got curious when saw the announcement. No need to change anything :)
