Whenever a process wants to establish a new connection, OpenSnitch will prompt you to allow or deny it.
Fields meaning:
- The name of the executable.
- The command that the user typed.
- The path to the executable.
Notes:
- If the user typed the absolute path to the binary, then the 3rd field is not displayed.
- If the typed command equals to the name of the binary (like in
curl -L http://..), the 1st and 2nd executable name will be equal. It seems logical, but in some cases as the one shown in the screenshot, it's not always the case. - If the text of a field is too large to fit in the window, 3 dots are added to the end of the text (
) . Place the cursor over the text to see all the text.
Extra note:
- Notice in the screenshot above that the[+] icon has the focus. Use the arrow keys ⬅️ ➡️ to quickly select Accept or Deny.
You can also select and copy the text of the fields:
By clicking on the [+] button, you can display the advanced view, where you can select more connection fields to block:
