Little Snitch Vs Mac
I talked to the auther and they don't want to make little snich's check boes accessible because they clame that voice over is a danger to the mac. Almost their words exactly which I don't quite understand. I lost the mailing list archive in which they had said this as the person who contacted the dev pasted in their email exactly.
Little Snitch Vs Mac
\t \tLittle Snitch for Mac can be tried out for free for 30 days. After that, $29.95 buys the full version with no restrictions. While it does include a native installer, loading the program proved tricky and required a restart in order for it to work. An extensive and complicated end-user agreement also needed to be accepted. Technical support and updates exist, but the program contained no visible instructions on how to use it. While advanced users would not likely have a problem with this, the potentially complicated permissions needed to tailor the program would be too much for beginners. In terms of function, the program requires little interaction and runs in the background. After setting up defaults, it monitors the user's system for programs that attempt to send data out. This could not be evaluated since we didn't have any applications that tried to do this, although the program indicated it was up and running. While this sounds similar to a firewall, the program claims only to be a privacy application rather than a full security program.

So after several hours of "checking this, checking that, I restarted a 27th time, but this time I tried COMMAND + R. Low and behold I have internet in this mode. So I tried running what little diagnostics I could (disc untility, all the usual suspects...) finally I just tried to "reimstall". The problem is it ONLY takes you to Mojave.
I wish I had seen this before I went through the same problem. In my case, I had intermittent but constantly slow internet access and some applications like Outlook, messages, etc. were not able to connect. After some dead ends, I decided to remove little snitch and everything got back to normal, including things like how long it was taking to boot my test machine, and its stability in general. It seems to me that Little Snitch is doing much more all over the mac, than just internet filtering.
So Moving to 5.1.4-45 was supposed to fix this issue, except that at the time our version of Jamf didn't support the System Extension payload and there was little or very hard to find documentation for Mac on Palo Alto's site. Until this weekend when we upgraded from Jamf Pro 10.13.1 to 10.22.1 (yeah, I know). Still, now that we have the payload, we reached out to Palo Alto once again for documentation on how to configure their stuff, and I feel bad for the engineer, who was very helpful, even though he ended up finding this same article. (Personally, I think the devs don't know that MDM also applies for Mac, but whatever.)
