I didn’t, I just said I probably couldn’t do so with Windows. If you feel comfortable with ZoneAlarm, then great, but I personally am yet to be convinced that it’s even possible to really lock down a non-Unix (or Unix-like) system. In any case, I’m quite certain I couldn’t do it, and I don’t have nearly enough confidence in my understanding of how Windows network security works (does anyone really?) to say whether any given application works or not.
But if it works for you, then great. All I know is that Little Snitch does the job easily and effectively, and I don’t trust anything else to work as easily or reliably.
- mkl 3y agoI'm certain you could do it. You install ZoneAlarm (or equivalent), tell it to block everything (by clicking a checkbox or something), and allow or deny connection requests when they pop up. You did make that claim, but whatever: "Honestly, the biggest reason to use a Mac over anything else may well be Little Snitch."
