• Stopping MDNSResponder from Sneakily Using DoH for DNS Lookups on macOS Ventura

  Agreed, though I combine using Little Snitch with Radio Silence: https://radiosilenceapp.com Little Snitch is great for when I want hyper granular control of a specific app's network permissions while Radio Silence gives me a super quick way to just block EVERYTHING for a particular app right away without even opening it the first time. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Little Snitch Mini

  I'm using radio silence for years and it is awesome :) https://radiosilenceapp.com. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Do You Use A 3rd Party Firewall App On Your Mac ?

  Forgot to mention Radio Silence (commercial), seen by many as an easier introduction vs Little Snitch. Source: over 1 year ago

• A little help

  Sorry for the late reply. I use Lulu which should be enough, but I also simultaneously use Radio Silence to be safe. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Little Snitch vs TripMode 3 - monitoring my web traffic

  Little Snitch (LS) is considered by many to be the gold standard. The aforementioned Lulu has a good reputation. The app Hands Off! Appears to be no longer developed (site offline). Then there's Radio Silence that may well fit your needs. Finally, one or more apps by Murus may be of interest but AFAIK these are not easy to configure and may be overkill for the average Mac user. I'm not familiar with TripMode. Source: about 2 years ago

• Blocking interent access to certain apps.

  Check out TinyWall. Only allows apps and processes you whitelist. Be sure to allow core services in Manage > Special Exceptions tab. Source: 4 months ago

• Brute-forcing a macOS user’s real name from a browser using mDNS

  I used to use tinywall on Windows. https://tinywall.pados.hu/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Mac shipments grow 10%, as all major PC brands see downturns

  Remove 11 and install Windows 10 ITSC IOT edition until the equivalent for 11 drops. Make Windows shut up for good with Tinywall (https://tinywall.pados.hu/) and whitelist applications as needed. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Comodo firewall and Windows Internet not working: Can't re/un-install

  Microsoft Defender is far better as an antivirus, and there are much better 3rd-party firewall options, even though Windows Firewall works just fine. TinyWall is a very low resource whitelist-only front end for Windows Firewall; Portmaster is a comprehensive network firewall. Source: 12 months ago

• Anyone tried doing default outbound deny on firewall?

  TinyWall is a whitelist only front-end for the Windows firewall. Source: about 1 year ago
