This way the only thing my other profiles interact with are the Google connections. I wish Little Snitch allowed profile switching based on application launch but I’ll take what I can get.Īll other Little Snitch rules are in the “Effective in all profiles” profile. When I want to run Chrome and allow it to update I switch profiles from the Little Snitch menu bar. No matter, if I ever do install the “GoogleSoftwareUpdater” it will already have a rule ready to block the network traffic. Notice that because I restored my old Little Snitch configurations to a new Mac, some of the Google software is no longer relevent, which is why the rule shows as red. 1 It still allows Safari or other applications to connect with Google.Īt the end of the setup there should be a few different rules in the “No Google” profile. The “No Google” profile blocks all Google out-going and incoming connections for the Google apps.
I create a “No Google” and a “Ok Google” profile in Little Snitch. I’ve written about this profile before, but I’m sure it’s time for a refresher.
But it always bugs me that Google sees fit to run update processes constantly, even if Chrome isn’t running.
It’s a fine browser and I use it most of the day at work. Is there a way to set these Little Snitch permissions on the command line? I'd like to be able to run my environment setup scripts without babysitting the GUI throughout the whole (otherwise automated) affair.I occasionally use Chrome as browser on macOS. I have lots of scripts (executed through virtualenvwrapper) to automate all the boilerplate configuration and setup - but a newly created virtualenv contains its own copy of the Python interpreter executable, which is a completely new application as far as Little Snitch is concerned.Īs a result, for every new virtualenv created, a Little Snitch dialog pops up during the automated setup asking about the permissions for the "new" Python executable, and I have to set the permissions and click "Accept". The problem I have is this: I also use the Python virtualenv module to create isolated environments for web development with Django and Tornado. I would like to generally maintain this behavior. I am running Little Snitch on Mac OS X, which lets me control how individual processes access the network.Ĭurrently, every time a new application tries to go online, I have to confirm or deny its access rights.
