Outbound 0.1
The 0.1 builds laid down what every later version stands on: the rules engine, the network filter, connection alerts that hold a connection while you decide, the Network Monitor, blocklists, profiles, outboundctl and the MDM controls.
These were private development builds, never offered for download. Outbound 1.0.10 is the first version you can install. See what is new in 1.0.10 or download the current version.
New
- A rules engine for apps, hosts, domains, IP addresses and network ranges (IPv4 and IPv6), with a fixed order of precedence and rule lifetimes. International domain names are compared in one form, so
münchen.deandxn--mnchen-3ya.dematch the same rules. - A network filter that runs as a macOS system extension and decides each connection.
- Connection alerts that hold the connection while you decide. If you do not answer, UDP is allowed after 8 seconds and TCP after 60 seconds, or blocked if you choose.
- A rules editor, the Network Monitor, Settings, profiles and HTTPS blocklist subscriptions with optional SHA-256 pinning.
outboundctlfor status, rules, blocklists and profiles from the command line.- For IT: a managed rule feed over pinned HTTPS that refreshes every six hours, JSON Lines audit export to a folder your SIEM reads, and sample MDM profiles.
- A daily audit log in JSON Lines, kept for 30 days.
Fixed
- A crash on first launch when the filter was not running yet.
