Why I’m skipping the proprietary "Little Snitch" for Linux

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.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
