[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1315524, member: 110816"] Little snitch watches all outbound traffic and if a new application/service makes a request, you get a pop-up allowing you either allow or deny that access. You can also control for how long (until quit, forever, just once) and so on.. I haven't really noticed any slow downs in my access overall..since it's more about blocking the first access and then just checking that it's the same access each time..that usually shouldn't involve any great overhead.. And no, just because an application uses root privileges doesn't mean it can circumvent little snitch, since LN goes a lot deeper than that.. [/QUOTE]
