Used to be a fantastic app. Now it shuts down constantly without notice and doesn't start on boot. Very sad. There switch in the program's settings to "Block Connections without VPN." So theoretically when it shuts down it blocks everything. But since it glitches/shuts down, and Grey Shirts has no interest in the issue, I do not fully believe that I am protected when it shuts down. The only way you know it is shut down is when you try to directly access internet and get denied.

Works pretty well. Good for limiting background data usage and making you more aware of what apps are using the internet (even when you are not using them). However, if you are looking for a robust solution, this is probably not for you. I dig it though. It would be nice if there were a "firewall reset" button to make apps have to ask permission again and a single button (or drop down box) of various custom configurations. As it is, I find myself giving and revoking permissions often. Still, 👍

Nice app - wish it had a different setting for per app for when in use and when idle - some apps need network access to function but continue to send and collect data when idle. I have to enable permission each time I use those apps. But overall a great product especially the custom filters that you can set up right from the log file - for example you can disable access to the internet but enable network access on your LAN like if you have a NAS.
