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)

Register

Provide your email address and agree to let us do stuff, and we'll send you a verification email to create your account and get started.

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.

if you're feeling adventurous, you can deploy it directly to your own cloud. Alternatively, you can get up and running in under 5 minutes with an individual or team plan at

Guys, if you're not going to read the readme to know if you can deploy open source projects like this, you shouldn't be doing anything remotely close to deploying any security related project anywhere.

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 😟

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?

Dope as fuck! And actually fair pricing for hosted version. Stay that way and I will spread you far. Especially since I have everything across every client divided up for micro-segmentation, so lots of accounts.
