Sometimes this leads to sending out your presonal data. This handy application works like firewall. It monitors and prevents all the connections to outside servers. When applicaiton installed on your mac tries to “phone home” without your persmission , Little Snitch alerts you and terminates the connection. It displays new warning window with “allow” or “deny” options. With the help of Little Snitch network monitor you may determine which apps use network connection. It provides additional network and privacy protection.[/I] And BTW: [I]What's New Version 3.7.1: [B]Further improved compatibility with macOS 10.12 Sierra.[/B] (bold mine) Fixed a crashing issue in the Known Networks window of Little Snitch Configuration.

Just a suggestion and a user's choice I'd say… PS: [I]Little Snitch3.7.1 Little Snitch offers a free, built-in demo mode that provides the same protection and functionality as the full version.
