Little Snitch for Mac OS X 50% off ($US17.48)

400

Little Snitch is a very well regarded security app for OS X that alerts the user to outgoing connections, among other things. This app is rarely on sale (generally once a year) and the developers are currently having a 50% off sale to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the app. The price depends on the licencing option, but I just got the single user licence version for $AU16.70.


Little Snitch sees what happens under the hood.

A firewall protects your computer against unwanted guests from the Internet. But who protects your private data from being sent out? Little Snitch does!

As soon as you're connected to the Internet, applications can potentially send whatever information they want to wherever they want.

Sometimes they do this for good reason, on your explicit request. But often they don't. Little Snitch allows you to intercept these unwanted connection attempts, and lets you decide how to proceed.

Little Snitch informs you whenever a program attempts to establish an Internet connection. You can then choose to allow or deny this connection, or define a rule how to handle similar, future connection attempts. This reliably prevents private data from being sent out without your knowledge. Little Snitch runs inconspicuously in the background and it can also detect network related activity of viruses, trojans and other malware.

  • Great app, also is very good at showing you what is using your network traffic (on your machine).

  • Brilliant app. First thing I install on any Mac.

  • +10 if I could. Great app for Mac / OSX users - scary to see how much calling home there is

  • Great deal. Thanks.

  • Bought this for full price, definitely worth it!

    Hit minus on phone screen though :(

  • +1

    Had a rogue app which kept messing up my proxy authentication at work and locking me out. This little beauty of an app helped me locate it and sort it out. Not sure your average home user would have much use for it - unless you are very security conscious. Going to be a lot of googling strange background programs to see what they are and what they do. Not trying to put people off, just make sure you have a use for it!

    I bought this and I dont even own a mac

  • Paid full price and it's definitely worth it.

  • Great app, and like others, I happily paid full price.

  • Just got this; still trying to figure out how to use it

  • Awesome little app. My Chrome and Gmail is loading ridiculously slow after installation. Anyone else having the same issue?

    I've allowed all connections for Chrome so not too sure what the issue is?
