Douane: Linux personal firewall with per application rule controls

An alternative that does not come with a potentially machine-bricking kernel panic bug is Opensnitch [1], last updated 14 months ago with a change to "funding.yaml" asking for donations.

A fork seems to be relatively alive [2] and I use it personally -- it works well, but is a bit of a PITA to build. Time to buy the devs a coffee...

I wouldn't call a kernel panic bug "machine-bricking", since after the panic happens, your system is usable again upon reboot. "Bricking" implies that wouldn't be the case.

I second that fork [2]. It is very actively developed and it's already a huge improvement over the original project. But why do you have to build it? It has rpm and deb packages readily available.
