### FAQ
|
|
|
|
##### Why Qt and not GTK?
|
|
|
|
I tried, but for very fast updates it failed bad on my configuration (failed bad = SIGSEGV), moreover I find Qt5 layout system superior and easier to use.
|
|
|
|
##### Why gRPC and not DBUS?
|
|
|
|
The UI service is able to use a TCP listener instead of a UNIX socket, that means the UI service itself can be executed on any
|
|
operating system, while receiving messages from a single local daemon instance or multiple instances from remote computers in the network,
|
|
therefore DBUS would have made the protocol and logic uselessly GNU/Linux specific.
|
|
|
|
##### OpenSnitch displays too many dialogs to allow/deny connections
|
|
|
|
Yes, it does. But only the first time it's been used. Once you configure which processes/connections you want to allow/deny, you won't notice that it's running.
|
|
|
|
In the future, maybe we add an option to queue the events, and from the GUI allow/deny them.
