To stop a running capture, you can either click Little Snitch’s status menu item (where a red recording indicator is blinking) and choose Stop Capture of or right-click the connection being captured in the Connection List and choose Stop Capture from the context menu.

Hello.

• There is an issue with Google Chrome that it creates a temp file to check for updates every x hours. Since it's making a new temp file for some reason it sets off Little Snitch.
• Aug 19, 2019 In many cases, rebooting your router and modem  might solve the problem. To do so, unplug your modem and router, wait for 10 seconds, plug it back in, and then try the website again. If the problem persists, you can connect to your local network hardware to get more information.

• Dec 13, 2018  Problem solved, maybe. While lying awake unable to go to sleep last night, it came to me. Check the settings in Little Snitch. Sure enough, Little Snitch was denying any outgoing connections from both Firefox and Google Chrome. See attached screen grab. Little Snitch says there was a problem with the processes' code signatures.
• Jan 26, 2020  So Google Chrome has recently stopped playing nicely with Little Snitch, mainly because there is an issue with Chrome that it creates a temp file to check for updates every X hours. Since its making a new temp file for some reason it sets off Little Snitch.

I recently purchased Little Snitch, and i'm incredibly happy with the product, but still i have a little 'problem'.
When browsing Google Chrome (on trusty sites) for every site i try to contact little snitch asks for the permission to allow connections about 5,6 times for different ips (for each site), making the browsing experience really uncomfortable.
The thing is a bit annoying, so i was thinking of just letting chrome allow all connections (like it did before i had little snitch).
For me it's pretty hard to judge if an ip is malicious or not, considering most of them are formed by alphanumeric sequences and stuff like that.

My question is: Did chrome connect to all those ips in the background before i had little snitch? Because i didn't have any trouble in the past and so i'd just let chrome access to all connections. (note i usually only browse my personal bookmarks and known sites...i very rarely adventure in the web).
Thanks so much for the advice.

Little Snitch is probably the best host-based application firewall solution for macOS app. I’ve been using it for quite a while but recently ditched it when I found a free alternative that equally works great.

If you’re using the free version of Little Snitch, you have to deal with the fact that it automatically quits after every three hours. To avoid this, you have to buy the full version. If you’ve been looking for a free Little Snitch alternative that works with macOS Mojave and previous macOS versions, Lulu is what you need.

Unlike Little Snitch, Lulu is an open source software with its source code already on GitHub. This means that it’s not just free, but also anyone can contribute to its development.

Same approach to application firewall

Little Snitch Problems With Chrome On Mac

If you’ve been using Little Snitch before now, you shouldn’t have a problem using Lulu. Lulu uses the same approach to application firewall as Little Snitch; it alerts you of outgoing connections and asks you confirm every connection your apps are trying to make.

After installing it, you can choose to allow all default Apple apps and existing third-party apps to connect to the Internet without confirmation.

The choice you make here depends on how you wish to use the program. Personally, I only allow Apple-signed programs to connect automatically, all third-party apps require manual confirmation to create rules.

Clicking the Block or Allow button determines whether the application will access the Internet or not. Checking the temporarily box makes the rule temporary for that specific program ID. It resets when you quit the app or restart your computer and the dialogue box will pop up again.

Just like Little Snitch, it has a panel where you can remove existing rules and add new ones manually:

Ever since I upgraded to macOS Mojave, I’ve been using the new system-wide dark theme which Lulu neatly blends in with.

For a free app, Lulu is incredibly well-built. It’s been about a week now and I haven’t encountered a bug. If you don’t want to spend a dime on a firewall app, this free little alternative is really worth trying. You can download it from the official website or take a look at the source code on GitHub.
