This is neat, but it seems strange to call it a "port" of a closed source proprietary commercial product. It doesn't actually seem to be related beyond also being a firewall with a UI that kinda imitates Little Snitch.

I think a better term might be "clone"?

This is correct. This is not a port. I wouldn't even call it a clone. It's more like "inspired by."

It's just a Hyperbolic Headline.

Maybe, but it's effective. I instantly know what it does instead of trying ascertain what makes Yet Another Linux Firewall different from the rest.

Then call it a "recreation" of Little Snitch or something.

Calling it a "port" is completely inaccurate and misleading. I clicked on this thread thinking the Little Snitch developers must be involved somehow.

And If I were the Little Snitch devs, I'd be more than a little annoyed.

And with "clone" you wouldn't?

I brought this up when the project was a couple of weeks old (the submission title was subsequently changed): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14252406

It is annoying that it still calls itself a port three years later.
