Trace stores all data locally. The CLI makes no outbound network calls except three documented operations: opt-in update checks, pricing table fetch, and install verification.
Little Snitch: install and monitor — Trace will show zero connection attempts except the documented three.
Wireshark: sudo tcpdump -i any -n host trace.bluemetatech.com
nettop: nettop -p $(pgrep trace)
opensnitch: install and monitor all outbound connections.
tcpdump: sudo tcpdump -i any -n 'not port 22'
ss: ss -tunp | grep trace
Wireshark: capture on all interfaces, filter for trace.exe.
netstat: netstat -b | findstr trace
Block all network access for the trace binary via your OS firewall. All features work offline — only pricing table updates and update checks are affected.
If you find an undocumented network call, report it: malik@bluemetatech.com
