Do you also complain at the cafe when they charge you for your second coffee? “GRR I already paid for my first coffee, why should I have to pay for my second one?”

Yes if your second coffee is almost double the price compared to the previous.

Very interesting thread

Coffee is not a good comparison (if you are complaining). My upgrade price for LS 6 was 50% higher than for LS 5. In the intervening 4 years, a cup of coffee has gone up by about 50%. Have you stopped drinking coffee?

This looks great! I'd not heard of it before, very useful tool.

Why do they always charge users for upgrade...ugh. Companies like them and Parallels are the reason why people pirate.

What I want to know, after reading all the comments, is...

How the heck did this get even 3 "Like" clicks?

Hit and run, as per usual.

Little Snitch blocks attempted connections, with PiHole you block after the app or the operating system connects and sometimes it's already too late they already collected the data, IP locations etc...

No, other-way around. PiHole is a DNS resolver. If your MAC cannot resolve the address then no connection can be made and there is no connection to block.

Not sure if encrypted DNS will interfere with my Pi-hole setup, so I may have to turn that feature off. Otherwise, I plan on upgrading soon.

check out some of the posts/convos here as I believe several have posted re using LS & pi-hole and more

Don't start with this rent-seeking nonsense. This is exactly how we got almost every paid app to be a subscription.

Let people actually buy software and own it instead of just renting.

HEAR HEAR & AMEN to that!!!! Adobe is one of those subscription ripoffs that treats their paying customers like criminals. and all those outgoing processes really suck the life out of both memory & cpu -- INEFFICIENCY + invasion of privacy on top.

I use both, and they work well in conjunction.

Not a competition; merely a different focus.

My use case is that I use Little Snitch on my laptop to block certain apps like dropbox from syncing when I am using my cell phone's hotspot feature.

I love Little Snitch on my Mac (the Mini does what I need). Why won't they make a version for iOS? Or is that just something that Apple does not allow for on iOS? If so, then why do they allow for VPN apps on iOS?

Apple doesn’t allow apps like that on iOS/iPadOS.

Ah, a pitty.
