Inspired by the incredible Little Snitch application for macOS, Cloud Snitch does the same thing for the cloud. And it’s 100% open source! (github.com/ccbrown/cloud-snitch)

    Guys, if we’re already paranoid enough to be interested in a product like this, don’t make us paranoid to even want to “get started” using a product like this.

    Sounds like a scam, even if they are totally legit.

      The “stuff” is standard things like storing a cookie for authentication.

      I’m surprised the wording here is such an issue despite all the transparency. Maybe I’ll take another pass at it, but I’d also happily accept a pull request to wordsmith it. :) That’s part of the beauty of open source right?

        Just for clarity, I followed the links they wanted me to follow.

        The sketchy tone and vagueness while they “do stuff” after getting your email seem to have no connection to self-hosting at all.

        If my intention was not to self-host, they lost me before I could even trust them enough to provide an email address 😟
