Nice, but it has the same Problem as Radio Silence by the same Dev. Network Events are not recorded, which means you have to have the App opened all the time. If it was closed and you open it to see, what connections were made you just get a blank window. @ Dev : please add a keep history for a time span preference! Unlimited, one Month, one Week, one Day, one Hour, 30, 15, 5 Minunutes should be enough settings.

strange that the monitor only shows stuff when the app is open.
if i did something and want to check what connections were made, i'm screwed if the app wasn't running. i'd suggest, that the monitor always shows the last minutes or hours (a time interval set by some preference)

otherwise i have to say the app doesn't make much sense on its own, because it prevents connections only after you added blocks. this means at least once your info leaked already.

but if that doesnt matter, it is a nice way to check what connections are done by your system or apps.

Excellent and simple to use. A couple of additions would be nice to see implemented, such as an icon in the menu bar, plus the ability to list in alphabetical order blocked apps. Other than this, a great application.

i have a little feature request if i may: what if the developer added a little on/off (allow/block) switch to every connection in the detail view. that way the user could not only completely block or allow an application, but also control what kind of connections are allowed. the beauty of it is that the UI stays as simple as it is right now, for those not needing this feature, but for power users you get the same kind of control you only get with little snitch.

btw, why cant the app run in the background? i can only minimize it, having it appear twice in my dock. id prefer a menubar option.

Inordinately easy to use and install. Extremely intuitive interface and it works flawlessly. At $9 its a bargain especially when you look at programs like Little Snitch. I did not need all the extras that Little Snitch offers and did not want to pay nearly $36.
