Little Snitch on Linux
the.unknown-universe.co.uk
Why I’m skipping the new Little Snitch for Linux in favour of my existing, transparent AdGuard Home and OpenSnitch setup.

I saw the news about Little Snitch coming to Linux via eBPF and Rust. On paper, it looks fancy. In reality, the backend is closed source.

Personally, I don’t see the point in installing a proprietary black box to monitor other black boxes. I’m sticking with my AdGuard Home setup and OpenSnitch for when I actually need to trace a binary.

I wrote up my thoughts on why I think this is a solved problem for most FOSS-first home labs.

    Butbutbut the name has ‘open’ in it. How can this be?
