When your Mac computer is connected to the Internet, countless connections will be quietly built in the background. Once some application connects to the Internet, it can send any information that it wants to send to any place in the world. In order to monitor these connections, better maintain our privacy security, and especially withstand the tracking software, Trojans, or other types of malware, we usually have to use the boring and difficult to use firewall software. Even worse, the inbuilt firewall program of Mac OS is only able to control incoming connections, has no monitoring and controlling capabilities for outgoing connections.

Little Snitch is an excellent, easy-to-use and trustworthy personal firewall software for Mac, developed by Objective Development Software from Austria, written in Objective-C. It can be used to monitor and prevent any network connection (both inbound and outbound) generated by the specified software. For example, when you launch some software, Little Snitch will remind users to allow it to connect to Internet or not. If you have a lot of confidential data stored on your Mac, it’s very necessary to install a user friendly firewall like Little Snitch. It reminds you of all inbound/outbound network connection requests in real time, so as to protect the safety of user’s computer effectively, and prevent applications from secretly accessing the network and sending data to the outside.

Once you connect to the Internet, the application may optionally send any thing they want. In most cases, they will bring you a lot of benefits. But for some software, what they do to us is opposite, such like tracking software, Trojan, or other malicious software. The trouble is that you didn’t notice anything about what and how they are doing, because all of this is conducted secretly. This case, Little Snitch can make any network/Internet connections sleep with the lights on (from invisible to visually visible), and enables you to control everything!

AppNee provides the Little Snitch multilingual Pre-Activated versions for Mac.

Before a license key is entered, Little Snitch runs in demo mode which brings about the following limitations: The network filter deactivates itself every three hours of operation. Little Snitch shows an alert when this happens and you can re-enable the filter as often as you like. Uninstalling Little Snitch. In order to perform its duty, Little Snitch needs to add components to a very low level of the operating system, which also need to be registered and unregistered with the system. It is therefore not sufficient to just remove all of Little Snitch’s application bundles. Instead, Little Snitch Uninstaller must be run. Without a license key, Little Snitch runs in demo mode, which provides the same protection and functionality as the full version. The demo runs for three hours, and it can be restarted as often as you like. The Network Monitor expires after 30 days. Turn it into a full version by entering a license key. Apr 17, 2011  Re: Little Snitch unexpectedly reverts to demo mode. There is no 'screen shot' to show. LS doesn't have an actual dialog that shows that the serial is invalid, it just reverts to behaving as a trial. Your preferences will show that you are licensed, but you'll have to restart the program every three hours. Little snitch demo mode.

// Tips //

  • You can selectively let familiar software free access the Internet, and limit the activities of applications that don’t need Internet connection or you don’t know what they are and where they are from to local (i.e.: offline use). Thus, you will be able to turn passive defense into active defense even in the face of all sorts of known or unknown Trojans or viruses.
  • Look at it another way, you can also use a firewall program to organize and control the license network verification mechanism of many software, in order to assist the software cracking process.
