For OS X: Little Snitch. For Linux: Open Snitch.
The other option: Offline first, air-gapped.
There is no way that I run a computer without host-based application firewall.

- reaperducer 5y agoI use Little Snitch, but find it a bit... intrusive. I find myself turning it off occasionally just to get work done. For those of you who are in this same boat, there are Little Snitch config files you can download that come pre-loaded with lots of blocked hosts, so you don't have to do them on your own one-by-one, which is frustrating on a new system. What I wish I could find is a Little Snitch list that only filters out tracking and profiling. I'm OK with seeing ads. I know the web sites have to make money. But I don't want to be tallied by some random social media company just because I visited a web site about artisanal brake clamps. Something that will allow ads.google.com, but not analytics.google.com. Or if they're the same, then dump the whole thing.
