On the subject of Mac counterparts, I highly recommend Little Snitch for this particular functionality.

I have no affiliation with the developer, I've just found Little Snitch to be quite useful and thought I'd share (admittedly it's graphs aren't as nice as this app's).

Also not affiliated but I've been using Little Snitch for about 5 years now, and I can't recommend this app enough. It's the first app I install on a new OSX installation.

I love the app and what it represents. You have a great story and motive behind it. I'm +1 for a mac version as I think your work is beautiful. I'll share this with a few friends.

Super useful if you spend a lot of time tethering. Just set everything to "ask" and build up your whitelist over time. After that, you no longer have to worry about remembering to turn off your torrents, CrashPlan, etc.
