Firewalls and endpoint security are important, and Little Snitch is pretty good, but this feels like an ad being posted.

It’s just a link to the main page of their website: nothing specific to warrant discussion.

If little snitch worked on ios...

I'm pretty sure the only reason it works on macos at all was that it got in early. I believe Apple periodically tries to hobble it but there is pushback.
