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.

    Well, if you think homelab there are plenty of other ways to realize a sink holes (pi hole, blocky, …).

    Little snitch and others are a good addition which can be useful, e.g. when roaming with a mobile device.
