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

Little Snitch on Linux

Why I’m skipping the new Little Snitch for Linux in favour of my existing, transparent AdGuard Home and OpenSnitch setup.

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.
