On OS X I use Little Snitch. Unfortunately, it's not free.

I noticed in one of your screenshots you use LS as well, do they serve different purposes or was it just a project for fun?

Its "interface" is terrible but in Terminal you can run OS X's nettop [0] to see per-network connection, per-process bytes per second in and out.

Somewhat on topic, anyone know of something like Little Snitch for Linux?

There's LeopardFire: https://github.com/themighty1/lpfw

IIRC, it is the most recently active project. As far as I can tell, the whole user-facing, interactive firewall program never really caught on in linux land.

What's so unfortunate about it?

It's not just nonfree (in speech and beer), but it's also very expensive for a personal product IMHO.

These days everyone it seems uses a mobile smartphone using apps usually free or less than $1 over that amount would seem excessive even $2 os let alone €30.

€30 ($43 + taxes Canadian to me) that's quite enough for software maybe not excessive but any more and I'd pass on it.

Most personal Mac apps are half that or less. It is expensive.

You can afford a Mac, but you begrudge the author of a useful utility $30 bucks for a perpetual license?

I don't "begrudge" anyone, I'm just pointing out where the price lies in the market.

Having purchased a computer in 1990 along with WordPerfect ($300 then - $540 in today's dollars) and Lotus 123 (another $300/$540), this makes me smile ;-)
