- How to block Little Snitch from calling home and killing numbers:
- 1. The first step is to block Little Snitch with Little Snitch. Create two new rules in Little Snitch as below:
- a) Deny connections to Server Hostname http://www.obdev.at in LS Configuration. The address that will appear if you do it correctly is 80.237.144.65. Save.
- and the next is:
- b) Deny connections in LS Config to the application Little Snitch UIAgent (navigate to /Library/Little Snitch/Little Snitch UIAgent.app, any server, any port.
- 2. After that is done, open the Terminal (in your Utilities) and paste in:
- sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit /etc/hosts
- (Hit return and type in your admin password). A TextEdit window will open behind the Terminal window. Command+Tab to it - this is your hosts file.
- 3. Place your cursor at the end of the text there, type or leave one vertical space and paste in the following:
- # Block Little Snitch
- 4. Close TextEdit, hit Command+Tab to return to the Terminal window, and paste in the following:
- sudo dscacheutil -flushcache
- 5. Hit the Return key and quit Terminal. You're finished now.
- 6. Easy, isn't it. If only everyone would do this, the developer would cease and desist from killing the number that you personally are using successfully on your Mac. At least until the next version is released…

For those of you that don't know what Little Snitch is, it's a Mac program that detects outbound connections and lets you set up rules to block connections. You can block access to certain sites outbound, block certain applications outbound, or prevent a single app from accessing a specific IP address or domain name outbound. Nov 10, 2009 Windows Firewall makes it easy to block any outgoing call to any computer. Now it isn't as nice as Little Snitch because it doesn't notify you directly when a program tries to call out, however, it does offer you the ability to log the calls so that you can see which programs tried to make a connection and it does offer you the ability to block those calls beforehand.

However, from another host on my network:
What makes it worse it that I was trusting Little Snitch to block this for some time, and I realized today I can even ssh into my machine from a machine I've connected to via an openvpn connection....so I've been exposing myself to that entire network on the other side.
Help please!
Thanks in advance.
