Q: How to keep data safe when using apps?
Dear community,
i consider using some app for sensitive data, but i am not sure, if i can trust this app. I faced that problem many times, and figuring now about a general solution.
For me it would be enough, if it is sure, that the app itself does not communicate with any server.
Linc Davis described already in a thread some diagnostics for open ports : localhost open ports 9999, 631 . But how can i check if a specific app tries to use my network access? Maybe it doesnt do that today, but in a month - so i would like to set something like a guardian on it
I use OSX Yosemite and WLAN for network access, and try to keep all other doors (like bluetooth) closed.
I appologize if that question is not appropriate, im new to the support community.
Best regards
Nika
