OS X 10.10 Yosemite changed how incoming ssh connections are handled. Incoming connections are no longer handled by sshd directly but instead by launchd. On OS X 10.10 Yosemite, this version of Little Snitch automatically converts existing rules to ensure incoming SSH connections work as expected.
Little Snitch menubar item no longer occupies space when disabled.
Fixed: The process owner in Network Monitor Snapshots was "root" instead of the actual user in many cases. Snapshots now store the user's names and show them correctly.
Software update checks are now using HTTPS. We will gradually enable HTTPS for all other connections to our servers in the near future.
Of ALL the many apps on my Mac .This is the most useful. This app monitors the traffic that passes on my Macs and lets me not only monitor what is going on but allow when an app can either phone home or do whatever you allow it to. I like the interface and the entire layout shows lot of good thought. There is no other app on the internet with the flexibility and control of this app. 5 Stars for sure.
