Radio Silence Networking Monitoring App And Firewall For MacOS 2024 REVIEW — MacSources

Safeguard your Mac with Radio Silence: A top-rated networking monitoring app and firewall for macOS users.

Even though I’m a macOS user through and through, I’ve been spending a lot of time recently working on making Windows machines more efficient. My eyes have been opened to just how much ‘bloatware’ is included with system software and how many unnecessary services run in the background on those machines. Trying to cut through the muck to get to the heart of the operating system is difficult because Microsoft wants to get precious data from its users. That means a lot of data is being distributed through network data.

Data privacy is something that has been very important to me and bringing data leak issues to light is something I’ve been trying hard to do when I complete app reviews. Radio Silence is a great tool to help people discover just how much information is going out or coming into their system through their network connections. I was shocked about which apps were communicating the most and which ones really didn’t need much connection at all.
