Publisher's Description
From Objective Development:
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:
- Fixes a crashing bug in Network Monitor.
- Fixes an issue related to Fast User Switching causing increased CPU load.

"A product you must have"
Version: Little Snitch 2.5.1
Pros
you can see what ports an app wants to use to go on internet. when you don't know the app just block the entrance to internet
Cons
i don't know Cons or it must be that you choose to accept the entrance through so many different ports to internet.

"Not at all helpful to me"
Version: Little Snitch 2.5
Pros
Let's you know what your apps are up to
Cons
Doesn't indicate whether it's anything to be concerned about.
Summary
Thought it was a nuisance and uninstalled it. The things it notified me of were, best I could tell, routine, and even if there had been cause for alarm, I wouldn't have known it without researching each alert. Other users love it - they probably know a great deal more than I do!

"I don't understand how to use this...."
Version: Little Snitch 2.4.4
Pros
don't know yet, can't figure it out.
Cons
I don't know how to tell if I need to deny something. I denied one item and then I couldn't do a google search... so went back and allowed it to go through - then I was fine. I got this because I inadvertently clicked on a facebook link from someone whose account was hijacked and later got a message from google that said "We're sorry... but your computer or network may be sending automated queries." I thought that might have had something to do with the Facebook issue and thought littlesnitch might help me with that, but I tried the same search after installing little snitch and still got the same message from google. oh well.
Summary
I'm only giving it one star and only because I have to in order to post this. Littlesnich could be great, I have no idea because I don't know how to use it. They shouldn't assume everyone understands how to use the product.

"Know who is being contacted by your computer!"
Version: Little Snitch 2.4.4
Pros
Little Snitch works in the background. You do train it to know what you will allow but that is not a difficult chore.
Cons
I would like to know what was planned to send out but when I asked about that, it was pointed out that it was probably coded anyway and I still wouldn't know was was being sent. I think the company that makes Little Snitch were correct.
Summary
This is an excellent program and well worth the price.

"Very active application"
Version: Little Snitch 2.4.2
Pros
It seemed to do what it is supposed to do
Cons
Trial was way too short
Interruptions during trial were manySummary
Maybe the full version, after its learning curve, is less obtrusive. I would have liked to try it for more than the few hours allowed.
