If you're concerned about applications using network resources, I'd highly recommend an outbound firewall. Not only can you actually guarantee your applications aren't making arbitrary network connections, but you can also use applications that attempt to, and simply block them when they try. Assuming OSX (because Atom), Little Snitch solves this issue quite nicely.
- drdaeman 11y agoThanks. I do use outbound firewall. Yet, I don't want to rely on it as a primary means to control network access by local software, because sometimes things break. I mean, I want local software (esp., FLOSS one) to be configured civilized enough on its own to not do anything I don't want it to do, even when the guardian tools leave them unmonitored. That's why I've asked if someone possibly already did so and has a configuration preset or something like that.
