Little snitch free download - Snitch, Snitch - Dein persnlicher Schnppchenjger!, Little by Little, and many more programs. Oct 08, 2019 To put in perspective, the last upgrade of Little Snitch (version 2 to 3) was Fall of 2013, to support Mavericks 10.9. That was nearly four years ago guys. The current macOS is 10.12, so Little Snitch v3 has supported FOUR MAJOR RELEASES OF MACOS and a fifth one on the way in that time with LS v3.
Unlike a stateful firewall, which is designed primarily to protect a system from external attacks by restricting inbound traffic, Little Snitch is designed to protect privacy by limiting outbound traffic.[2] Little Snitch controls network traffic by registering kernel extensions through the standard application programming interface (API) provided by Apple.[3]
If an application or process attempts to establish a network connection, Little Snitch prevents the connection. A dialog is presented to the user which allows one to deny or permit the connection on a one-time or permanent basis. The dialog allows one to restrict the parameters of the connection, restricting it to a specific port, protocol or domain. Little Snitch's integral network monitor allows one to see ongoing traffic in real time with domain names and traffic direction displayed.
The application (version 4) received a positive 4.5/5 review from Macworld.[4]
