Does anyone know how this compares to Little Snitch?
- 333c 9y agoInstalled, tried to git clone https://some.url/repo which hung and didn't show any sort of prompt from LuLu. I imagine (thought I haven't used it) that Little Snitch would prompt to allow/deny git from connecting to the network. So, it doesn't seem very functional, but it is an alpha, so that is likely expected.
- skue 9y agoBased only on glancing through the linked product page... here are some LS features LuLu currently lacks: * Reporting domain names rather than just reporting destination IPs. * Inbound monitoring & rules * Temporary rules that auto-expire (e.g. Once, next 15 mins, etc.) * Fine-grained control over protocol/domain/subdomain in blocking rules (at least when prompted) * Graphical monitor of recent blocked/allowed traffic * Profiles to easily change rule sets based on network, etc. * Unclear whether LuLu provides special handling of connection attempts during startup, software updates, etc. * Graphical installer, polish, support, etc. ...OTOH, LuLu does provide features I don’t recall seeing in LS: * Icon indicating whether originating binary has been signed by system/third party/unsigned * Button to optionally check binary hash against VirusTotal
