    Picosnitch vs OpenSnitch Comments

    Not a firewall, but it is more reliable at "snitching" on programs that try to disguise themselves or evade filters/detection by tracking hashes, process hierarchy, and logging bandwidth. It is also more tamper resistant by letting you store the logs on another system.
