I've been a long time Litte Snitch user. However, these days I'm just using LuLu: https://objective-see.org/products/lulu.html
Why did you switch? Price? OSS? Or does LuLu have compelling features?
It's a mix of everything (in no particular order):

- the author of LuLu is a security researcher; he also wrote "The Art of Mac Malware"

- I already bought two versions of Little Snitch and wasn't willing to pay for the third one

- contacting their support left a bitter aftertaste

I have probably also paid for three versions. It’s a great piece of software and they do not require upgrades excessively.

But I will try LuLu. I would rather my security software was OSS.

Thank you <3
