I tried subscribing to that URL of filterrules in LS, but this doesn't work. Where did you paste theses Rules in exactly?

 

it's a bit tricky,
you need to select all the content from that web page, press cmd+c (copy),
then you need to open Little Snitch Configuration app, and once it opens, press cmd+v (paste) and wait for a while,
one they all get imported, you should see within rules list something like Any Process - 3670 Deny outgoing connections to 3670 domains...

 

@tzzsmk Ah, now I got it. Thanks. Working. Wonder if I still need ublock origin now.

 

I happen to use uBlock Origin too, it's like 2-factor adware protection for me

 

@tzzsmk I found a Link which adds the LS Blocklist as a "Rule Group Subscription":

https://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/news.php#littlesnitch-rule-group-subscriptions

This adds an Entry to the Group of Rules which has a checkbox as well:



Since this is a subscription, I guess the rules will update automatically which is a plus. And you can review and disable individual rules if you like.

Found another useful one called unpkg. It unpacks .pkg files by simply dragging pkgs onto it: https://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/

Nice extensive thread guys! That pretty sums it all up haha

For those who want to keep it simple: BatchMod, Keka (slightly better than the Unarchiver I just found out using it), and Crossover are just all you need to make any k'd software work. When the need arises, batchmod the whole app folder you're looking to crack into to reset permissions.

Using Big Sur flawlessly. Co-design if the need arises (very rarely, but happens):

Step1: Install your program (restart sometimes needed)

Open Terminal

Step2: xcode-select --install (if you haven't done already)

Step3: sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/XXX\ XXXX/XXX/XXX.app

(or alternatively: xattr -cr /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/XXXXX/XXXXXX.component etc. - not sure of the difference)

Good to go!

 

cool!
