Block App Little Snitch

After hours of searching, I found that if I have Little Snitch running, the Mac App Store does not work. It gives a white screen, and clicking on the top buttons does not do anything. When I disable the Little Snitch network filter, it everything functions properly.

I'm using Little Snitch 4.2.4 and just discovered the beauty of Rule Group Subscriptions. 'Peter Lowe's Block List' came up in web searches and it seems highly-regarded, so I added it. I'm sure there are others and I'd welcome your suggestions of other rule group subscriptions. Sep 29, 2016 The app asks for user permission every time any process or app tries to establish a connection with the internet, and it applies these rules strictly, even to system processes. Using Little Snitch, you can block internet access even for Spotlight on your Mac, effectively stopping it from retrieving search results from the web.

I would like to have this solved, so I can use the App Store without having to turn Little Snitch off. Especially since all updates go through the App Store, and these are 'blocked' as well.

Off course I've tried to give the App Store all possible access in Little Snitch. It was working fine before.


Running a brand new iMac (Intel Core i5, 2.9 Ghz, 8G RAM), on Mavericks 10.9.4.


Any tips are greatly appreciated.

Block App Little Snitch Lyrics

  1. How to block Little Snitch from calling home and killing numbers:
  2. 1. The first step is to block Little Snitch with Little Snitch. Create two new rules in Little Snitch as below:
  3. 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.
  4. and the next is:
  5. 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.
  6. 2. After that is done, open the Terminal (in your Utilities) and paste in:
  7. sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit /etc/hosts
  8. (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.
  9. 3. Place your cursor at the end of the text there, type or leave one vertical space and paste in the following:
  10. # Block Little Snitch
  11. 4. Close TextEdit, hit Command+Tab to return to the Terminal window, and paste in the following:
  12. sudo dscacheutil -flushcache
  13. 5. Hit the Return key and quit Terminal. You're finished now.
  14. 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…
