### What we like

Visualize (and block) outbound connections from any process or application. Tracks data volumes and history. Create your own blocklists and use community provided lists for proactive rule updates. Configurable. Open source. There’s also a macOS version.

### Tradeoffs

Use of eBPF means it’s designed for privacy rather than completely strict security.
