Product Description:

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

Little Snitch informs you whenever a program attempts to establish an outgoing 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.

What's new in this version:

  • Fixed an issue causing system freezes at login on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
  • Fixed a bug causing repeated connection alerts.
  • Fixed a bug related to rule matching precedence.
  • Minor usability improvements in Little Snitch Configuration.
  • Fixed an issue causing rules with relative process path to show up as "invalid".

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

After you update to 2.1.4 check your Rules, as some might be ON that you prefer OFF.

Since I can't get an e-mail through to Ob Dev, I'll post here:

This began with your 2.1.1 update and has persisted in 2.1.3...

If I click on "Allow" too quickly after an "XYZ wants to connect" dialog box appears on my screen the entry is "shrugged-off," and I must re-click.

If I give the box a second or so before clicking on "Allow," LS goes about its business with no complaints.
