Little Snitch is a very useful, user-friendly bit of software for the Mac that helps you control which software communicates with the Internet.

Because its only on sale once in a blue moon, I wanted to post this because its not so obvious that if you provide a student e-mail you will receive a 30% discount without waiting for another Black Friday. I can confirm this works with the family license as well.

DESCRIPTION

As soon as you’re connected to the Internet, applications can potentially send whatever they want to wherever they want. Most often they do this to your benefit. But sometimes, like in case of tracking software, trojans or other malware, they don’t.

But you don’t notice anything, because all of this happens invisibly under the hood.

Little Snitch
makes these Internet connections visible and puts you back in control!

Single $45USD to $31.50USD
Family (5 Macs) $89USD to $62.30USD
Multi License (5x) $179USD to $125.30USD
Multi License (10x) $310USD to $217USD

Little Snitch + Micro Snitch - Single License $47USD to $32.90USD

    Price in title’d be good, Barry

      Thanks. Done (What could fit in the title, rest in the description).

    just suggesting a free alternative. LULU.

      Agreed, LuLu is really great and totally free

      I switched from lulu to little snitch when it was last on sale. Honestly lulu is about 80-90% of the product little snitch is despite being free

      Little snitch gives greater control over processes and their access but honestly it brings lots more frustration as well

    • KangaDrew on 21/02/2023 - 21:31

      Lulu is great if you want something that's free, but Little Snitch is much more powerfully feature rich and worth the coin if you can grab it discounted.

    I have Radio Silence does Little Snitch offer anything extra?

    • SickDmith on 21/02/2023 - 19:18

      I use Little Snitch. Quite often I block analytics and tracking networks requests but allow functional ones. Sounds like Radio Silence can't man age individual connections.

        I use Radio Silence. I tried Little Snitch, but I found that the constant pop ups annoying, plus the iMac I have is a shared iMac with the rest of the family, and they didn't have any idea on what to do when they received the Little Snitch notifications so I was constantly getting having to go to the computer to assist whenever the pop up's came on.

        I know that after time it would sort itself out, but it was too much hassle. Having said that, I might give Little Snitch a try again as it's been a few years.

          The popups are only temporary until the app works it's way through all internet connected applications. Once that's done, you'll only get alerted to apps trying to make connections to the net.

        • JumperC on 22/02/2023 - 03:17

          You can turn the pop ups off completely and just manually review later. Once you’ve used it for a while and reviewed/accepted the usual traffic you can turn them on again for anything you haven’t accepted if you want or just use it more as an occasional check.

    Student App Centre is full of good apps for people with an Edu email, for what it’s worth.

    You can find this on broken stones for free, arrrrr.

    Snitches get stitches

  • 1Kenobi on 21/02/2023 - 20:36

    Is that per year or lifetime license?

    • Smigit on 21/02/2023 - 20:46
      +3

      Little Snitch licensing is per major release, which generally are a number of years apart with a reduced cost upgrade if you want to then get the next major release.

      Some other apps on Student App Centre are subscription however.

    If anyone needs bought for them - pm :)

    Not a student anymore sadly, but upvoted for Little Snitch. This is a true OG, the app is old enough to drink but it still shines. Particularly rate the map view of all your connections.

    Mind you, I would still recommend tuning/monitoring firewall/s at the router level.

    • 1Kenobi on 22/02/2023 - 08:12

      How does one get a start on learning how to set up a firewall on a router without breaking anything?

        most likely starting from an Indian kid on youtube.

  • haru on 22/02/2023 - 01:47

    What’s the best Windows equivalent? I used to use GlassWire before they gimped the free version.

    • lamb on 22/02/2023 - 05:16

      I use WFC for the Windows Defender Firewall but for the “other” little things like what little snitch does for you .. give Safing Portmaster a try.

      It’s in alpha stage .. has been quite stable under Win10. Win11 is a little buggier but still a great “free” product to catch all the individual connections attempting to be made in and out of your box. (I’m using it per machine via VM guest).

      One possible issue is that it only keep the last 10 or so mins of connections in its logs for review but you can get a more detailed listing in the OS built in firewall.

      They have subscriptions as a supporter or as a customer of their other product, SPN (a different way to “VPN”) .. but not necessary to use the program indefinitely.

    • rygle on 23/02/2023 - 18:50

      You could try Simplewall
      https://alternativeto.net/software/simplewall-firewall/about…

      Or Portmaster
      https://alternativeto.net/software/portmaster/about/

      I can't vouch for either but both get good ratings on alternativeto.net and both are open source.

    I don't think there are any good standalone firewalls for Windows anymore :( Just 2nd rate gargabe bundled with antivirus suites. I have Malwarebytes Windows Firewall Control active, which is a frontend to the Windows Firewall that pops up a dialog box every time a new program "snitches".

      Thanks for sharing that, always wondered why there wasn't a good Little Snitch equivalent on Windows apart from GlassWire paid.

  • pizzaguy on 22/02/2023 - 09:32

    This is 50% off every year around Black Friday, if somebody can wait 9 months.
