This is correct. This is not a port. I wouldn't even call it a clone. It's more like "inspired by."

Maybe, but it's effective. I instantly know what it does instead of trying ascertain what makes Yet Another Linux Firewall different from the rest.


Then call it a "recreation" of Little Snitch or something.

Calling it a "port" is completely inaccurate and misleading. I clicked on this thread thinking the Little Snitch developers must be involved somehow.

And If I were the Little Snitch devs, I'd be more than a little annoyed.

And with "clone" you wouldn't?
