There's a big discount going on for Little Snitch at BundleHunt https://bundlehunt.com/single-deal/little-snitch-5

I've used Little Snitch 4 since 2017. When I get my new mac (waiting for 3nm Apple silicon), I will have to get Little Snitch 5. I paid only €25 back then, it's €69 now or €39 to upgrade.

But I just discovered there's a #FOSS version of an outbound #firewall for Macs called Lulu! https://objective-see.org/products/lulu.html

Do you use an outgoing firewall?

@gatewayy We’ve released a nightly build of #LittleSnitch today that adds compatibility with macOS Sonoma.

denke mit diesem neuen #visionpro sollte jeder von uns #littlesnitch installieren und checken was für daten da zu #apple gebeamt werden #sicherheit

Please do NOT install macOS 13.4 beta 4 if you are using any network content filter like #LittleSnitch or #LittleSnitchMini. Apple has introduced a bug in its latest beta causing network connectivity to break.

#littlesnitch released a free "mini" version for #MacOS, looks like a very simplified firewall/app manager.

neat!

"Check out Little Snitch Mini!" they said. "You'll like it, and it's free! You can recommend it to people who want to learn more about how there competer connect out!"

Ladies and gentlemen, you will be unsurprised the first thing I noticed about it was its terrible window management, and I therefore uninstalled it in less than 10 minutes.

Little Snitch pops up dialogs to approve/deny connections. I use Spaces to have eight virtual screens, but after a few days the Little Snitch dialogs start showing up on the wrong virtual screen. Once this starts, it persists until reboot. It drives me crazy. #mac #macos #LittleSnitch #FirstWorldProblems

But again, no hibernation. Closing the lid meant suspend and after several hours the battery was dead. After more than 20 years with #mac I don‘t understand it. And with my failures on ubuntu with this, I was concerned and seriously considered to get a #MacBook Air, install #LittleSnitch, block all #telemetry, get #utm and using it mainly as basis for virtual machines. Seriously. When I spoke to the guy at the Apple Store left me alone when I told him :-). And to me, using the Terminal sucks.

Does anybody use Little Snitch anymore on macOS?

Little Snitch Mini: Light-Version des Netzwerkwächters startet im Abo

Nachdem mit Little Snitch Mini der kleine Bruder des Netzwerkwächters Little Snitch Ende vergangenen Jahres in den Beta-Test gestartet ist, lässt sich die App jetzt offiziell im Mac App Store laden. Little Snitch Mini kann zur reinen Überwachung der vom Mac ausgehenden Netzwerkverbindungen kostenlos genutzt werden, für das Blockieren von Verbindungen sowie weitere Funktionen ist […]

Brought back #LittleSnitch to Alert Mode to fine-tune it. Let’s see if there are new domains that are not being filtered by my #Pi-Hole.

@briankrebs I love little snitch exactly for these kind of things.
And every version of every software seems to become more invasive.
I cannot imagine having a mac without Little Snitch

3/2
#Datenschutz hat viel mit Vertrauen zu tun.
Das nächste Mal verlor ich das Vertrauen als durch einen Fehler beim Release einer neuen #macOS Version auf einmal nichts mehr ging.
Das vorletzte Mal verlor ich das Vertrauen, als macOS der Meinung war, an #VPNs und #LittleSnitch vorbei Verbindungen nach Hause aufbauen zu wollen. Nur die Community hat das schnell verhindert.
Dann kam #ClientSideScanning.
Es reicht!!!
Und 4 Mrd. Umsatz mit Werbung.
Sie sind nicht die Guten, nur weniger Böse.

#MacOS users, if you use #LittleSnitch you can now find them on Mastodon:

@littlesnitch

Translation: Do you need a good Firewall for MacOS? Simpler than Little Snitch and free, I recommend Lulu.

Wusstet Ihr, dass #LittleSnitch auch ganz normale #blocklisten verarbeiten kann? Hätte ich das früher gewusst, hätte ich mir viel Zeit gespart.
Wie das geht?

Though I use #LittleSnitch I turned on #macOS's firewall on 2022/11/02 - figuring why not?. A few days *before* Ventura 13.2 on 2023/01/24 and several *days after* a reported update to XProtect Remediator I started having issues with my wireless and wired network connections - the "dreaded No Internet Connection / Self-assigned IP address". After days of trials I finally had the bright idea of turning the macOS firewall back off. TaDa, no more issues. Grr, mysteries without an immediate cause.

Ich habe mal versucht, mit freundlicher Unterstützung von #MichaelBazzell, zu beschreiben, wie man es schafft, einen #macOS Rechner so zu kaufen und aufzusetzen, dass #Apple so wenig wie möglich bis gar keine Informationen bekommt.

Es ist die Paranoiversion, ich weiss. Und ein Problem habe ich noch, dass ich noch genauer untersuchen muss.
#LittleSnitch

@engineerminded Also another problem is that many #Linux distros don't offer the types of software that users want, but some add on a lot of unwanted bloat. For example #LinuxMint is supposed to be a user-friendly distro but they install tons of additional software that you may never use. What they should do is at the time of installation, give you the option to go with the standard package of applications (for "give me all the goodies" types) OR to pick the packages you really want from a list. But then they don't offer some types of packages that people might actually want for security or privacy reasons, such as #OpenSnitch (a Linux application-specific firewall equivalent to the #MacOS #LittleSnitch program) or a good password manager such as #KeePassXC, or a good full-system backup utility similar to the #MacOS #TimeMachine program (most Linux backup utilities only back up a subset of the system, such as user files only or system files only, and none have the equivalent of the #MacOS #MigrationAssistant which lets you restore your applications, settings, and data to a new machine, or if your main storage fails and you have to replace it). The lack of an equivalent to Time Machine/Migration Assistant is one of the major reasons I have not personally gone to Linux on my desktop.
