I second OpenSnitch, I haven't face any shutdowns due to it yet. For those coming from LittleSnitch on macOS might have to look into the finer details of the connection in the Allow/Deny dialog on OS to get the best results.

Slowdowns, not shutdowns, luckily:) The desktop (XFCE under Debian if that helps) just hung for a while like it was waiting for me to allow some rules, but didn't show the requester to do so, also the timings were random, could have been from 2 seconds to 5 or more.

Oops; Self-reminder to not comment on HN when half sleep.

But, I haven't noticed slowdown either; I wonder whether its because I always keep the OS window open?
