Hi all, Sony loves these data collection messages at the beginning of their games. They don’t even give you the option to opt-out. It is mandatory and is either “Full data” or “limited”. I don’t want to give them either. Is there a straight forward way to do this? Thanks in advance.

    That was actually a part of the main question, but then I decided not to include it. Opensnitch shows so many popups that I get confused which is to allow and which to deny. Sometimes things could break and a reboot is necessary.

    Edit: I’m going to install it regardless. Thanks

      That will be the case with any firewall, you’ll have to block everything and then figure out what is needed for the game to work as expected.

        True, but I think firewalls don’t have that scary popup opensnitch has. They do their thing silently. lol

          Why not spin up a pihole instance? Once you setup your blocklists you barely have to maintain it besides the occasional update.

          Hell, if you don’t have a spare machine to run it on, you can likely run it locally and then change your PC’s network to use it as your DNS resolver.
