Hello, Thanks for this and all of the objective-see app library. You've made security accessible to all, and not pay to play 💯.
I have a use case for the lulu app that for me I would find useful - profiles.
A few reasons 👇
🛜 Security levels for different networks
When I connect to wifi at work, hotels, etc I want to choose to limit access to the web for the majority of my programs.
🔕 Reduced interruptions
I don't want software connecting to the web to check for upgrades. There is a temp block but it gets old fast having to block multiple programs every time I use my computer. For me I'd set up an upgrade profile that I could choose to let non critical programs update once a month.
😶🌫️ Privacy
Controlling my computers uploads. If I was a journalist/whistleblower, technically I should boot into tails, but the addition of profiles means I could choose to lock down my personal computer even more. Same If I was using a VPN to get around a nationwide firewall.
🔓Secure Lockdown mode (technically this could be it's own feature)
If people believe they are being targeted they can hit the kill switch
👨👩👧👦 Family Mode
I could set up family mode that keeps my kids from accessing the internet when they play games with an online component. (when they are old enough to figure out how to switch profiles, they'll be old enough to access online.)
👩💻 Product testing
Developers could create profiles to monitor and regulate outgoing connections more stringently.
🚨 High threat models
Those operating a high threat model could switch between different sets of activities, (e.g. creative software, development tools, entertainment apps) allowing them to manage these sets efficiently, allowing necessary connections for each set and blocking others.
These are just ideas, and I'm speaking from the perspective of one person. The program is wonderful as is, so again thank you.
