@littlesnitch As someone who’s spent years tinkering with network security tools, part hobby, part necessity, I’ve grown to love software that hands me the reins to my Mac’s inner workings. Little Snitch, a macOS firewall application from Objective Development, has earned a permanent spot on my dock. It’s more than a firewall, it’s a peek into the hidden chatter of network activity, delivering control and clarity that’s tough to match. But how does it stack up against alternatives like OpenSnitch, Radio Silence, or The Murus Team’s suite? Let’s dive in with a detailed look at its benefits, value, and a no-holds-barred take on its pros and cons. ...

Here is a simple way to create a whitelist for trusted AS Numbers using @Crowd_Security PostOverflows The main advantage of PostOveflow whitelists is they are only triggered once the bucket overflows meaning potentially expensive expressions are evaluated less often. You can also install the crowdsecurity/rdns postoverflow that will be in charge of enriching overflows with reverse DNS information of the offending IP address. Here is the path example where you will need to create a new whitelist: root@gw:/usr/local/etc/crowdsec/postoverflows/s01-whitelist ...
