There are two Keyboard Maestro macros here, to Enable or Disable Little Snitch's network filter using GUI scripting.
Little Snitch Stop Network Filters
Little Snitch 3.6.3 Crack will allows you to use different sets of filter rules depending on the network that’s you are currently connected to. You can take back control of your system with this application. Open the Little Snitch Configuration application from your Applications folder, open Preferences General and click the Stop button to turn off the Network Filter. Any network traffic will then be allowed, such as if Little Snitch wasn’t installed at all. If you are using the Little Snitch menu bar icon, you can also stop the filter by choosing “Stop Network Filter” from the menu. Step 1: Install Little Snitch. Go ahead and install Little Snitch. Step 2: Stop the filter and switch to silent mode. Little Snitch has a tendency to be a bit verbose, and will pester you with questions as soon as any application attempts a connection, which can rapidly get annoying. This issue happens to me in both my rMBP 13 and my Mac Pro. As I understand it, Little Snitch is not applying the rules when the network filter is off: But why does it turn itself off from time to. Step 1: Install Little Snitch. Go ahead and install Little Snitch. Step 2: Stop the filter and switch to silent mode. Little Snitch has a tendency to be a bit verbose, and will pester you with questions as soon as any application attempts a connection, which can rapidly get annoying. Troubleshooting a Steam game not loading and one recommendation is to quit background apps such as Little Snitch etc. Tried stopping the filter in the menubar, no dice. Tried killing the app, agent & daemon in activity monitor and it just starts back up. Little Snitch runs inconspicuously in the background and it can even detect network-related activity of viruses, trojans, and other malware. Filter connections and monitor your network traffic with ease The Little Snitch Network Monitor utility features a well-designed interface and provide easy-to-read animated and informative diagrams created.
Both the scripts work entirely the same way:
Check to see if Little Snitch Configuration.app is running, save to a variable
QUIT_LITTLESNITCHLaunch Little Snitch Configuration.app
Open Little Snitch Configuration.app's preferences (see note below)
Click on the 'General' tab (see note below)
Look for either a 'Stop' button or 'Start' button
if a 'Start' button is found when we want to enable the Network filter, press it
if a 'Stop' button is found when we want to disable the Network filter, press it
if a 'Start' button is found when we want to disable the Network filter, the network is already disabled (the presence of a 'Start' button means that the filter is stopped).
if a 'Stop' button is found when we want to enable the Network filter, the network is already enabled (the presence of a 'Stop' button means that the filter is already stopped).
If neither a 'Start' or 'Stop' button is found, prompt the user to see if GUI Scripting is enabled, and then cancel the macro.
Send ⌘ + W to close the preferences window
If
QUIT_LITTLESNITCHis 'yes' then quit Little Snitch Configuration.app
This is the Note Below that was mentioned above: The 'click on General' step is probably unnecessary, since Little Snitch's preferences default to showing the 'General' tab when it opens, but it feels like the right thing to do. For example, what if the preferences panel had already been opened to some other panel for some reason? Also, just for the sake of completeness, the macro opens the preferences panel using both the menu item and the keyboard shortcut. Doesn't hurt anything to do it twice, and if, for some reason, one of them misfires, the other could work.
Warning!
In order for these macros to work, you have to enable GUI Scripting access to Little Snitch. Doing so is a potential security risk, so understand what you're doing before you do it. I consider the risk to be minimal and worth the trade-off. Use entirely at your own discretion. Caveat emptor.
To make that change, open Little Snitch Configuration.app and go to the 'Security' pane, click the lock icon (bottom left) and then make sure the box next to 'Allow GUI Scripting access to Little Snitch' as shown here:
Installation
After installing Keyboard Maestro, download the Enable-or-Disable-LittleSnitch-Network-Filter.kmmacros file. (n.b. the file can be named anything you want, just make sure that it ends with '.kmmacros' and nothing else (like .xml or .plist).
Little Snitch Stop Network Filter Replacement
The easiest way to install it is simply to double click the '.kmmacros' file, which should import the macro into Keyboard Maestro and tell you that 2 macros were imported.
You can also use Keyboard Maestro's File » Import Macros... menu as shown here:
Then select the Enable-or-Disable-LittleSnitch-Network-Filter.kmmacros file from the Finder. You should get the same notification shown above.
I've had little snitch installed and running without issues for 2-3 years now. I reinstalled OSX from a time machine backup 2 weeks ago, and after booting up reimported a backup of the little snitch rule set. All has been well until 2 days ago when all web browsing started being blocked.
The current situation is that when I turn off the network filter I can browse the web, but as soon as I turn the filter back on, all web browsing is blocked. I tried restoring the rule set again from the known good backup, but it's still blocking.
There haven't been any changes to the networking or OS that I am aware of.
Little snitch 3.7.4
OS X El Capitan 10.11.6
How should I troubleshoot the problem? Thanks
