Little Snitch 6?

Yes, you can lol.

I would trust little snitch more than apps like bartender for sure lol, or any other app with disk/clipboard/keystroke access.

Anyway, under the hood, it installs a network filter, which can be inspected. Also, one can easily check what network connections that are being made from their network. Like my nextDNS dashboard logs shows that. LS functions the same way as LuLu, open source and does the same core thing, with less features (blocklists, network monitor etc)

It can sound too much, but it’s a one-time setup for no ads across all devices, and peace of mind in terms of sneaky apps. YMMV

Thanks!! This is exactly what I was just looking for. But how do I purchase just that particular video on Little Snitch? I’m not interested in any other videos and as such don’t require a monthly or yearly membership.

I even emailed the Little Snitch team to ask if they had a dedicated support community, but no.

You know of any support communities for Little Snitch, besides this thread obviously

I’m not that familiar with ScreenCasts Online, but I think they only offer subscriptions?

But if you haven’t used their service before you will have a 7 day free trial, which should be enough to judge whether this video is worth $9.99 (the price of the one month subscription)?
