Is there a Little Snitch alternative for Windows?
- Wistar 4y agoA good question. I looked it up. The AlternativeTo site offers a few PC alternatives to Little Snitch: "Little Snitch is not available for Windows but there are plenty of alternatives that runs on Windows with similar functionality. The best Windows alternative is GlassWire, which is free." https://alternativeto.net/software/little-snitch/?platform=windows https://alternativeto.net/software/little-snitch/?platform=w...
- eviks 4y agoIt's not free for the most important part - blocking
- oktwtf 4y agosimplewall[0] is my #1 install on a new machine. Little different, but it'll still alert you to the requests, allow for timers, per application/route rules etc. [0]: https://github.com/henrypp/simplewall https://github.com/henrypp/simplewall
- sasas 4y agoCan recommend simplewall - only only is it free, it's completely opensource. Works wonderfully - highly recommended.
- dylan604 4y agoI'm kind of scared to learn exactly how chatty Windows would be.
- oktwtf 4y agoIt's not as bad as the vine says, but one thing that drives me crazy, is widgets.exe seems to get a new hash /often/ and I constantly get prompts for it. It's all the installers that phone home at some point, and video drivers needing access etc. (Wireless displays come at a cost I guess).
- dylan604 4y agosorry, that should have been "Windows version". I wasn't meaning to imply windows itself (although, yeah, from the stories it could be bad too with telemetry crap). i just meant Windows being such a large target for malware and what not

- roblabla 4y agoI use netlimiter[0] on windows. It works pretty well, has more or less the same workflow as little snitch. Disclaimer: Just a happy paying user. [0]: https://www.netlimiter.com/ https://www.netlimiter.com/
- WirelessGigabit 4y agoI had great success with NetLimiter. Just like Little Snitch, it's a pain to set up, but it's very revealing. Also makes you wonder why your Logitech App is talking to all these servers and why it needs to have 4 applications running in the background to... do what exactly?

- Varloom 4y ago+1 Glasswire is my Windows alternative as well.
- noizz 4y agoWindows Firewall Control, although probably not as flashy. https://www.binisoft.org/wfc https://www.binisoft.org/wfc Been using for years, great piece of software.
