melon_tusk: How anyone could trust OpenSnitch is beyond me.

kelsey98765431: last thing in the world i want is to install proprietary software on linux. even less so is something meant to be security software and interacting directly with my network stack.

bornfreddy: > ...my primary line of defence is AdGuard Home. By handling privacy at the DNS level...To each their own, I guess, but that would be a hard pass from me. One example from mobile: FF on android keeps trying to connect to its various services (like firefox.settings.services.mozilla.net). For privacy reasons, I use NetGuard to block this and other similar domains. But there is a gotcha: there are sites (like seekingalpha.com) who refuse to load if access to these same domains is blocked - even on a completely different browser! With NetGuard I can still visit those sites in the secondary browser while blocking Mozilla tracking. With DNS blocking I wouldn't be able to do that.

senojsitruc: I wrote GlowWorm ~20 years ago, duplicating much of the LittleSnitch functionality at the time.I remember discovering remote kernel debugging across ethernet; it was magical.https://glowworm.us
