OpenSnitch a free opensource selfhosted outbound application firewall made for Linux!
OpenSnitch is a free, open source, self-hosted outbound application firewall. All Operating Systems these days have a built in firewall, but these are generally only effective against incoming threats. This the firewall where you'll hear me or others talk about opening ports to allow you to self host a site or service you want to access from outside of your network.
An outgoing / outbound application firewall actually watches the traffic that is leavning your machine. This can help you identify what applications are going out to the web, An application like this should be used as a compainion to an good inbound firewall to help increase the security of your systems and network.
Applications, once installed and running (inlcuding browser extenstions), can reach out from your network, unhindered and report data and information to third party servers. Key logging, website visits, and so much more can be shared out without your knowledge.
