Ask FMB: Blocking Programs From Connecting To The Internet

Hi, is there any application that permit me to check all the applications trying
to access the internet e stop them? Thank You Very Much
The most popular application for this is Little Snitch. It will tell you when any app tries to connect and let’s you choose whether to allow it or not. However, this application does cost $24.95.
Of course, you’re writing to the FreeMacWare guys so if there is a free alternative, we know it.
GlowWorm FW Lite is a nice application that will do the same thing for you…but it’s free. You do have to register with the site (free), but once installed, you’ll be able to block any app that you’d like.
(If you have a question about your Mac, just ask FMB. We may post it here.)
