Per-application firewall on Linux
So, I tried to manage network packet per application because sometimes, my Akregator updates the RSS when I need a huge amount of network traffic. This is not real pain when I use network cable or on a fast internet access. But using a cellular network modem? It’s different story. The idea is using an application like Little Snitch on Mac OSX. There was –cmd-owner option in iptables to manage network packet per application.
