Bought it today! Really looking forward to the traffic chart. One question: why compare with Little Snitch Mini but not full Little Snitch? I use LS on my own Mac, and trying TinyShield on my work laptop alongside LuLu.

Just now discovering Proxyman as well. I think I saw it before when looking for a better traffic monitor but the cost deterred me and while I'd use it in app development I don't have a big need for it. The simplicity, lower cost, & network monitoring make TinyShield interesting

I will say, I love proxyman. It's a great app that does exactly what I want. I went ahead and purchased a combo license due to the trust you've built with your previous app. I'm sure with updates, this app will flourish and it'll be great once it's on setapp.

Just bought it. Kind of like the 'easiness' BUT the icon and the things you can do with the menunbar kind of suck and... i cant figure out how to move it out of the dock? menubar should be enough. right?

Purchased a few minutes ago hoping you change your stance on the two years or at least a really good renewal rate for early adopters I get it things need to be updated people need to get paid but if we show you love early you show us love early lol

Just bought it. Love the way you managed to publicise the tool on Reddit. I think it's the best platform to get honest feedback and a lifetime of backers by your side. Keep up the good work.

Where do I actually pay for it? I found where to download it but I'm camping and only have a phone for a few more days. Don't want to miss the early pricing
