There was an issue with my order—I never received the activation key. I've tried emailing customer service multiple times, but haven’t received a response. I couldn't find any social media channels to contact you either. I really want to use your service, especially since I’ve already paid for it. If anyone from the company sees this message, please respond to the emails sent to customer service. It’s concerning that I could still purchase the product, yet there’s no active support.

Nice, but it has the same Problem as Radio Silence by the same Dev. Network Events are not recorded, which means you have to have the App opened all the time. If it was closed and you open it to see, what connections were made you just get a blank window. @ Dev : please add a keep history for a time span preference! Unlimited, one Month, one Week, one Day, one Hour, 30, 15, 5 Minunutes should be enough settings.

strange that the monitor only shows stuff when the app is open.
if i did something and want to check what connections were made, i'm screwed if the app wasn't running. i'd suggest, that the monitor always shows the last minutes or hours (a time interval set by some preference)

otherwise i have to say the app doesn't make much sense on its own, because it prevents connections only after you added blocks. this means at least once your info leaked already.

but if that doesnt matter, it is a nice way to check what connections are done by your system or apps.

Excellent and simple to use. A couple of additions would be nice to see implemented, such as an icon in the menu bar, plus the ability to list in alphabetical order blocked apps. Other than this, a great application.
