Just curious, what tools do you prefer to use to identify network requests from recently installed applications such as this?

- asadlionpk 5y agoI also would like to know this.
- battles 5y agoOn the mac there's Little Snitch.
- okamiueru 5y agoOn Linux there is OpenSnitch. A bit rough around the edges, but does what it needs to do well.
- Pr0ject217 5y agoThank you.
- _jal 5y agoI can't imagine using a Mac without Little Snitch: https://obdev.at/products/littlesnitch https://obdev.at/products/littlesnitch Among other things, it is disturbing how chatty a lot of things are. (Did you know Apple Mail keeps track of which account you email different people with and wants to send that to configuration.apple.com, even if you have carefully disabled everything Icloud related?) There's a similar tool for Linux, but I usually keep a networkless VM around for playing with potentially sketchy things.
- _tom_ 5y agoClosed source, monitors everything on the machine. How much do you trust little snitch? And then asking to keep a copy of your drivers license for ten years is a complete non starter. (Yes, that's in their privacy policy)
- 1123581321 5y agoThere is a section about being required by the EU to determine location for VAT collection purposes. If their payment processor can’t determine your location sufficiently, then they have to collect data identifying your location and store it for tax/proof purposes. That’s something they don’t want to ever have to do, obviously. Here’s a link to the policy: https://www.obdev.at/privacy/index.html https://www.obdev.at/privacy/index.html
