Little Snitch for Linux makes that activity visible and gives you the option to do something about it. You can see exactly which applications are talking to which servers, block the ones you didn't invite, and keep an eye on traffic history and data volumes over time https://github.com/obdev/littlesnitch-linux

    FYI, UI and client side is in Rust and open source but its core daemon on Linux is not. This app is from same authors who wrote macOS/OS X version. So use with caution as it is not 100% open source like many games you play on Linux.

      @nixCraft Finally!

      I miss that see-which-app-opens-which-connection-when and filter it on Linux.
      (I remember having a program on Windows 2000 which did exactly that: a personal firewall with a GUI).

        @nixCraft OpenSnitch is open front to back.
        Maybe not as nice but is doing the job for years.

          I bought a license for a MacBook many years ago, but I no longer use it. Now I only use Ubuntu. I wonder if the license is compatible with Little Snitch for Linux.

                    @nixCraft for all the extra features that little snitch has, the only one I care about is the better UX than opensnitch. Opensnitch could close that gap fairly easily really if they just reflect on the usage patterns.

                          @regendans @squalouJenkins @nixCraft I have also been a happy OpenSnitch user, see no reason to recommend something with proprietary crap when there are good alternatives, if it is not full free software that is a huge disadvantage compared with OpenSnitch

                            @x or you can use little snitch to forbid access to its own license-check server. Used to work on macos 🙂

                                      @Albirew Yes, I was referring to the original post, which was about Little Snitch.

                                        Little Snitch for Linux https://obdev.at/products/littlesnitch-linux/index.html Every time an application on your computer opens a network connection, it does so quietly, without asking. Little Snitch for Linux makes that activity visible and gives you the option to do something about it. You can see exactly which applications are talking to which servers, block the ones you didn't invite, and keep an eye on traffic history and data volumes over time https://github.com/obdev/littlesnitch-linux

                                          @nixCraft Finally!

                                          I miss that see-which-app-opens-which-connection-when and filter it on Linux.
                                          (I remember having a program on Windows 2000 which did exactly that: a personal firewall with a GUI).

                                          @p3ter @nixCraft I bet that app was Zone Alarm? IFLd that and honestly that era might have been peak Windows
