What is the best firewall software for Mac?


What firewall software are you using today? I've come across both Lulu and Little Snitch which seem to be the most popular today. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Use Little Snitch, it does it's job really well.

Though, keep this in mind:

Thinking face > A: Apparently yes, and trivially so Grimacing faceFace screaming in fearLoudly crying face
