@danie10 is this by the original developer of Little Snitch for the Mac, or did someone just swipe the name?

@cyp @danie10 fun! 👍️ Personally, I'd rather have a dedicated app (OpenSnitch) than a web UI though.

@cyp @eobet I see yes, just waiting for an AUR package to appear which should not be too long.

@danie10 Fab tool. If the code of the app is not able to be inspected, how can one use it happily? I never ever use third party tools from outside the #nixOS package repo unless I can inspect the code....so I am perplexed 🤔. Am I the only one that thinks like this? Have I missed something? Is this strange macOS type thinking (trust all 🍏 code) in Linux Foss space?

@adingbatponder you are correct, but I suppose in this case it is a well known dev from the Apple ecosystem. The backend he uses to hook into the kernel is open source (and same as OpenSnitch and others use). It is really his front end GUI and algorithms that he does not want to open up (yet as he says).
