At least, I have it running fine witout macOS firewall turned on (same way I was configured with Little Snitch). If you run LuLu, do you also need to enable the MacOS firewall? I believe so.

For example, if you download malware - or apps that “phone home” without your knowledge - and they want to send personal data across the internet, the macOS firewall won't stop them.

The reason is that while the built-in Mac OS firewall monitors and blocks incoming traffic, it doesn't provide any protection against outbound traffic. If you're using your Mac to access any public network. One of the links on the LuLu download page (6 Questions) says: I buy his stuff (well, it's really donationware) just to support his continued work. The apps are clean, to the point, effective, and easy to manage. LuLu is not only (very) actively developed, the developer is one of the leading Mac security people out there. On a whim, I swapped out LS for Lulu and so far it seems better problem free. It seems perhaps "less intrusive" than LS? Also, we have one shared family iMac that seemed suffer from network freeze situations a lot, couldn't put a handle on it Seemed like an app, like Firfox, just couldn't load web pages. We have a few Macs in the house and I'm trying lulu on two of them. Since then only LuLu and haven't seen the need for anything else. I had Little Snitch in the past, but had problems and gave up on it.can't even remember what.
But I'm guessing you're already familiar with that. What weaknesses are there to, say, Lulu? Is it actively developed/updated? I generally like the Objective-See stuff as a rule. Radio Silence also seems to be a cheaper alternative to Little Snitch.Ĭurious if anyone has recommendations one way or the other. I'm messing with Lulu on another computer and, while clearly having fewer features, it seems like a functional alternative ( and cheaper). So I've been a Little Snitch user for many years and generally happy with it.
