"Full manual control personal firewall"
Version: Little Snitch 2.3.3
Pros
You can restrict an app's access to a network host or port or protocol permanently or temporarily. You can generalize a filter to all apps or all ports or all hosts. Critical apps are locked to avoid unintended network denial.
Cons
Unlike free ZoneAlarm Personal Firewall, there's no automatic intelligence, so you must design your own firewall. However, you won't be blindsided unless you do it to yourself. Little Snitch blocks outgoing network accesses only.
Summary
If you are fussy or like to tinker, you can spend a lot of time fine-tuning this application only to get disgusted and start over again. It's a mature program with nearly complete control over external network access. This kind of firewall reacts to network access by applications. If a new (different than those recorded before) access is attempted by an app, Little Snitch will pop up a dialog to allow you to decide whether to allow it. It is low profile - does not use much processor time. The list of filters can get large but is well organized and very easy to read and modify and there is a search feature in case the list becomes otherwise unmanageable. Little Snitch filtering can be completely suspended if desired. It has just the right number of features to be useful and flexible.

"outstanding"
Version: Little Snitch 2.3.2
Pros
100 % pros
Cons
i didn't find any.
Summary
I cannot leave without it. Littlesnitch catch all of those "dark force" outgoing call AND it is my choose to accept or not. It should be great that software developers add some "preferences" asking the user if he agrees or not with outgoing calls.
I feel as unfair that a piece of software in acting beyond my back ! Thanks Little Snitch to protect our privacy. -
