Interactive application firewall for GNU/Linux.

OpenSnitch is a GNU/Linux application firewall for reviewing and filtering outbound connections interactively. Its graphical interface also configures nftables system rules, including inbound service access, and can manage multiple nodes centrally. Users install distribution packages for the firewall and interface; domain blocklists and SIEM integration support additional network-monitoring workflows.
