Overview

The Network Monitor window consists of the following components:

• Connections — A hierarchical list of connections seen so far. The first level lists only processes. For each of them, you can drill down to the domains it connects to by clicking the disclosure triangle. The third level lists the names of the servers which were contacted. Connection statistics are stored “forever”, up to a configurable limit of total connections.

• Search — You can perform a textual search in the Connection List or apply other filters via a filter menu.

Little Snitch is a host-based application firewall for macOS. It can be used to monitor applications, preventing or permitting them to connect to attached networks through advanced rules. It is produced and maintained by the Austrian firm Objective Development Software GmbH.

Unlike a stateful firewall, which is designed primarily to protect a system from external attacks by restricting inbound traffic, Little Snitch is designed to protect privacy by limiting outbound traffic.^[2] Little Snitch controls network traffic by registering kernel extensions through the standard application programming interface (API) provided by Apple.^[3]

If an application or process attempts to establish a network connection, Little Snitch prevents the connection. A dialog is presented to the user which allows one to deny or permit the connection on a one-time or permanent basis. The dialog allows one to restrict the parameters of the connection, restricting it to a specific port, protocol or domain. Little Snitch's integral network monitor allows one to see ongoing traffic in real time with domain names and traffic direction displayed.

The application (version 4) received a positive 4.5/5 review from Macworld.^[4]
