EDIT: The original developer apparently has abandoned OpenSnitch, however there is a forked version that as of 2021 is still being actively developed. In addition, there is a newer project by a completely different developer called eBPFSnitch. For more information on the forked version, see OpenSnitch Linux Application Firewall Fork With Improvements And Bug Fixes (LinuxUprising)

This is the original article about a very early version by the original developer – the forked version mentioned above is much improved over this one!
