OpenSnitch has been abandoned. Fortunately, this fork is actively being developed and looks very promising: https://github.com/gustavo-iniguez-goya/opensnitch

An alternative that does not come with a potentially machine-bricking kernel panic bug is Opensnitch [1], last updated 14 months ago with a change to "funding.yaml" asking for donations. A fork seems to be relatively alive [2] and I use it personally -- it works well, but is a bit of a PITA to build. Time to buy the devs a coffee...

There's OpenSnitch [1]. [1] https://github.com/gustavo-iniguez-goya/opensnitch

For anyone that wants to switch to Linux and retain similar functionality as this firewall app, there is this: https://github.com/gustavo-iniguez-goya/opensnitch

If I were offering a free (as in price) alternative to MS Office, I'd first recommend WPS Office over LibreOffice, even though it's closed-source. It has a much better interface out of the box. But I'd use something to block it from phoning home to its probably Chinese government-beholden servers, like OpenSnitch for Linux* or LuLu for macOS.

To me, what matters most is privacy and freedom. -> Open-source transparency of code, data, and all that happens with it. (Including the ability to fully control and see what's happening in your system at the network level, like OpenSnitch - https://github.com/gustavo-iniguez-goya/opensnitch). I don't see any of MSFT's actions threatening this on a really big picture level. It's always been and always will be up to 'the community' to build and make Linux and free software what it is. Linux, especially Linux Desktop, is wonderfully flourishing right now, and I don't think it's because 'MS hasn't offered a more compelling alternative to Linux' in the cloud. More largely, it's because we've built what we've wanted. Maybe I'm naive about what we've been ungratefully depending on. If so, I'd settle for a mildly cautious and watchful neutral gr

did you try tinysnitch [0], opensnitch fork [1] or Douane [2]? [1] works pretty well for me. [0] https://github.com/nathants/tinysnitch [1] https://github.com/gustavo-iniguez-goya/opensnitch [2] https://github.com/Douane/Douane/

> LittleSnitch on Mac... miss this level of control on Linux This is such a killer app it's hard to believe that only recently a linux variation has been developed... https://github.com/gustavo-iniguez-goya/opensnitch (the original by evilsocket seems to have been abandoned).

True, its not production quality. Here is an actively developed fork/repo of OpenSnitch [1] [1] https://github.com/gustavo-iniguez-goya/opensnitch

Link to fork, for those that were confused like me: https://github.com/gustavo-iniguez-goya/opensnitch

> In Linux, it's harder, because there's no way (that I know) to control network access by process. What about https://github.com/gustavo-iniguez-goya/opensnitch ?
